Research collaboration on diversity and inclusion in mathematics teacher education

Since 2018, researchers from Stockholm and Chile have been conducting a long-term joint research collaboration on diversity and inclusion in mathematics teacher education.

Why do girls opt out of math in school?

In school, girls in general outperform boys in math-related fields. But even when girls have a relatively higher ability in math, they more often choose other education trajectories. A new study from Swedish Institute for Social Research (SOFI) puts a piece to the puzzle on why girls don’t seem to aim for the science and technology fields in their education and work careers.

Algebraic groups – a universal language in mathematics

Wushi Goldring wants to place specific mathematical objects in a wider context. His research is all about algebraic groups and how they can be used as a common language in mathematics. The aim is to formulate a general theory for how objects from widely diverse areas, and particularly in geometry, can be generated by groups.

Concurrent growth on lattice and graphs

When two entities, like epidemics, business brands or opinions, evolve in competition for space, can they occupy large parts of the available space simultaneously, or will one of them outcompete the other?

Research
Connections in spatial growth models

One of the most important avenues of research in mathematical physics evolves around a differential equation, introduced by physicists Kardar, Parisi and Zhang. This equation has in empirical studies been found to describe the evolution, over time, of the front of various spatial growth processes, such as bacteria colonies and flame fronts.

Research
The importance of the MEP pathway in the microbiome and its effect on behavior

Our main aim is to study the effects of bacterial phosphoantigens (HMBPP and IPP) on appetite. We introduced these into mice by gavage and followed the differences in weight gain and gene transcription from relevant tissues. An unexpected effect on male salivary glands focused our interest also on their effects on immune response.

Research groups

Group Emami

We work on infectious-disease biology with a focus on host-pathogen-vector signalling-communication. We provide a fundamental/quantitative description of communication in infection-biology/behaviour plasticity, and genetics towards the design of novel scientific technologies.
