Overall, my research interests are directed towards the relationship between science and society, social movements and historiography, historical memory and historical silence.
At Karlstad University, there is research on polymer solar cells and how these can be made more stable and effective. Recently, a doctoral thesis was presented on how solar cell materials and functions are affected by contact with air and light.
”By now, almost everybody agrees that climate change is real,” says Vanja Blazinic, PhD in physics. ”We need to phase out fossil fuels and transit to renewable energy sources like sun, wind and water.

Perovskite solar cells degrade when exposed to sunlight, which results in decreasing performance over time. A new research project will examine how such solar cells could recover and self-repair at night.
– Electronic components, such as solar cells and LEDs, are made from semiconductor materials, says Ellen Moons, professor of Physics. Such materials form the basis of all electronics, computers, cell phones and screens.

CMM - Characterizing and modeling of materials – from nano to macro
The overall goal in materials research is to improve the performance of the materials.
The project budget must be drawn up in consultation with a financial officer. You should make an appointment with your department financial officer well in advance of the application deadline. Bring all information about the call to the meeting.
An estimate is drawn up in line with the SUHF model (Sveriges universitets- och högskoleförbund/The Association of Swedish Higher Education), which includes a budget with full coverage of costs (i.e.
Knowing how long stored carbon dioxide stays in the ground or how the groundwater flows below the ground surface are difficult questions to answer. Mathematical calculations often become so complicated that computers cannot handle them.
This kind of research began in the 1970s when oil and gas were to be extracted in the North Atlantic.
