Overview
About the programme
The development of computers, effective algorithms, software, and better databases, offers new opportunities for solving several scientific problems. Theory and modelling can complement or replace expensive and time-consuming experiments and product development processes.
Doctoral studies in Theory and Modelling in Natural Sciences is offered by the Department of Physics, Chemistry and Biology (IFM) at Linköping University, one of the leading institutions in Swedish material research. You will get a solid foundation for a career within academia or with the industry.
Programme Structure
Our research addresses some of the most challenging issues for the scientific community, the industry and the society at large, such as:- The behaviour of materials at extreme compressions and temperatures
- How to use computers for designing new materials
- Which materials should be used to write, store and read quantum information
- How to make molecular machines more efficient
- How to design fluorescent proteins for better visualisation of living cells
- How photochemical reactions happen
- How to design a sustainable food production
- How to reduce the impact of climate changes on ecosystems
- How to minimise the risks of major disease outbreaks and their consequences
- Molecular-level effects of diseases
- How to spot diseases before they manifest symptoms
- How to design better drugs
