One of the first pressure-sensing mattresses for healthcare have been tested by staff and patients in two care facilities in the municipalities of Sundsvall and Örnsköldsvik. The purpose of these mattresses is to quickly identify the risk of pressure ulcers and enable preventive measures to be taken.
Stefani Rydblom defended her Doctoral thesis at Mid Sweden University in 2019 and has since worked as a researcher at RISE. She is now returning to Mid Sweden University in the role of a research engineer, where she will, among other things, develop positioning technology at the STC Research Centre.
STC Research Centre is currently hosting Erasmus trainee Muhammad Danish, a mathematics and computer science MSc graduate from the University of Calabria in Italy. Muhammad is undertaking a six-month research traineeship, focusing on Semantic Communications.
Cyberattacks on wireless networks pose a threat to businesses and society, with risks such as ship rerouting and flight delays. Now Mid Sweden University’s STC Research Center, in collaboration with the University of Vaasa in Finland, is developing an AI solution to detect intrusions.
Aya Soualeh Mohamed from Algeria has started her PhD at Mid Sweden University, focusing on deterministic networking in 5G. As a cotutelle student, she will study in both Sweden and France, gaining international experience while contributing to future communication technologies.
Around forty participants defied the snowy rain and went to House Be in Åre on Wednesday February 5 to take part in the breakfast lecture "Create business value with AI".
Vinicius Pozzobon Borin, originally from Brazil, has recently moved to the Northen Europe to proceed with his academic career as a PhD-student in the ENSURE 6G Research Project, focusing on AI-algorithms.
On Dec 19, 2024, Viktor Döhlen successfully presented his licentiate thesis ”Enhancing hydropower with energy storage systems - Merging perspectives on inverter design and industrial application”. The opponent and external reviewer was Professor Massimo Bongiorno from Chalmers University of Technology.
The focus is on developing safer and more reliable AI systems by analyzing trust in distributed systems. Amanda Ericson, PhD student at STC, participates in a research exchange with Chemnitz Technical University in Germany, a collaboration that deepens the research insights.
In the beginning of December, research assistant Julia Pedersen Fresvig from NTNU, visited STC Research Center in Sundsvall. The purpose of the visit was to meet Mid Sweden University's researchers Wei Zhen and Benny Thörnberg and to discuss the new lab setup that will measure chemicals in water.
On Friday 8 November, participants from companies and the public sector gathered in Härnösand when Bron Innovation, Mid Sweden University and Härnösand Municipality arranged a lunch seminar on how to create business value with AI.
Last week, Sveriges television (SVT) interviewed industrial PhD-student Viktor Döhlen about his work in developing a method with supercapacitors that can compensate for short electricity production failures. Viktor presents his licentiate thesis on Thursday, December 19.
Julia Pedersen Fresvig fra NTNU jobber som vitenskapelig assistent i forskningsprosjektet SENAVIS. Julia har bakgrunn som sivilingeniør med spesialisering i veg fra NTNU i Trondheim. I masteroppgaven sin undersøkte hun en optisk sensor for å måle vanndybde på rullebaner.
Hydropower is unmatched in storing energy for long periods and balancing the electricity system. Viktor Döhlen has researched how smaller energy storages, like batteries, can integrate with hydropower to balance the grid over shorter intervals and contribute to a more stable electricity network.
Björn Norén is doing his PhD at Mid Sweden University, where he combines his background in computer engineering with research on how AI can streamline the management of log data to improve systems and user experience.
