Six of the eighteen grants awarded to prominent mathematicians within the Knut and Alice Wallenberg Foundation's mathematics program go to Stockholm University
On February 7, this year's Career Fair for students started with 15 exhibitors, eight lectures and a panel discussion. Students had the opportunity to mingle with prospective employers and listen to alumni sharing their experiences. The Department of Mathematics, Meteorology, Astronomy and Fysikum organised the day.
In the fast development of technology, DSV has together with the Department of Statistics, developed a new master’s programme, aiming to meet the demand for future data scientists.
In a new research project, Fredrik Charpentier Ljungqvist, together with researchers from three different disciplines, will investigate and explain the relationship between grain prices and food stress in various parts of Europe from the 16th century to the 18th century.
Since 2018, researchers from Stockholm and Chile have been conducting a long-term joint research collaboration on diversity and inclusion in mathematics teacher education.
På uppdrag av Eurostat lanseras nu European Statistics Awards-programmet – European Statistics Awards for Nowcasting (som startar den 1 september 2022) - där lag kommer att ha möjlighet att tävla om priser på upp upp till 8000 EUR per tidsserie.
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.
Armandos stay here has been to learn about diversity in mathematics education. Therefore he joined a 30 days internship course with different scholars and PhD students.
The Department of Mathematics at Stockholm University has received a donation of SEK 100 million. The interest on the donation will be used to fund scholarships for young researchers.
Stockholm University is awarded two grants within the Knut and Alice Wallenberg Foundation's mathematics program for recruiting prominent researchers in mathematics.
Three mathematicians at Stockholm University recieve funding from Knut and Alice Wallenberg Foundation to recruit international researcher for postdoctoral positions.
Light emitted from stars reveals the elements they contain, and the elements in turn tell the story of each star. Wallenberg Academy Fellow Karin Lind is combining modern technology with recently developed models to study the very oldest stars in the Milky Way, and create a picture of the childhood of the galaxy.
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.
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?
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.
When is sharing equally different? In this project, we study how younger children think and create meaning around sharing resources. It's about how they look at it from a mathematical perspective, and from a climate and sustainability perspective.
This is a project in algebraic geometry, the branch of mathematics which studies geometric objects arising from algebraic ones, such as solutions of polynomial equations. The proposal revolves around a central theme within algebraic geometry: the classification problem.
Long-term effects on adolescent suicide attempts, diagnoses,
drug use and school attendance after self-harm treatment -
statistical method development and analysis of register data based on a
RCT
The project want to generate a nuanced understanding of how inequity in socio-material conditions can affect students' opportunities to learn mathematics.
A more inclusive mathematics education is an explicit aim and policy for the research in this collaboration. How can pre-service and in-service mathematics teacher education contribute to this aim?
Achievement tests to evaluate abilities of examinees become increasingly important and are used by decision makers. Several large tests are repeated periodically, for example the Swedish Scholastic Aptitude Test, national tests in school, and international tests PISA and TIMSS.
Sector coupling, for example between power and heat, affects the strategic leverage of large producers. Using game theory, we will devise policy mechanisms to mitigate distortions to welfare, prices, and emissions.
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.
The Baltic Sea is one of the best-surveyed and studied seas on Earth. Yet the Baltic Sea circulation and its role in the complex climate system is neither fully quantified nor understood, in spite of important implications for coastal societies of the Baltic Sea region.
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.
SOCAME advances research on mathematics education as social, cultural and political phenomena. At present, the group is a strong research environment with regular seminars and several connected international projects and initiatives.
