Unit profile

Description

Expertise and research infrastructure available in NanoLund, Lund Laser Centre (LLC) and MAX IV allows scientists to gain insights into light-induced processes and functionalities of materials that were previously impossible to study.

The profile area will harness recent fundamental research advances in measuring and controlling light and materials. This substantially improves our understanding of the natural world, and enables new technological developments that addresses societal challenges in the fields of health, energy and environment.

Light and Materials is one out of five profile areas at Lund University.
