June 2025Roland presented our research at the LINXS Inaugural Conference at Science Village, Lund. The event marked the official opening of the new LINXS premises in The Loop, bringing together international researchers, infrastructure leaders, and Nobel Laureates to shape the scientific future around ESS and MAX IV.
June 2025The Nordic Rheology Conference took place in Berlin, Germany, for the first time co-organized with the German Rheological Society. Roland and Ases represented our group and enjoyed a great program packed with fun rheology.
June 2025 We attended the WWSC International Conference 2025 in Stockholm, Sweden. Kesavan, Roland, and Kim (MAX IV) were there representing our team, contributing with: Influence of nanocellulose and hybrid morphologies on Taylor–Couette instabilities, Advanced rheological testing: a science initiative at MAX IV, and Combining Small- and Wide-Angle X-ray Scattering with Dynamic Mechanical Analysis to Study Moisture-Driven Material Behavior.
June 2025 Kesavan successfully presented his licentiate seminar titled ‘Multiscale Characterization of Hierarchical Nanostructured Fluid Flows.’ He shared some great visuals showing how materials behave under flow, giving insight into their complex structures across different scales. Congratulations to Kesavan!
May 2025 We wrapped up RheoMAXESS workshop, focusing on rheological infrastructure at MAX IV. The session gave an in-depth look at what’s available and what future users should keep in mind when applying for beamtime — from planning ahead to arriving well-prepared. We had fruitful discussions throughout the day. Presentations were given by Marko Bek, Roland Kádár, and Ann Terry. Stay tuned for future events at LINXS.
May 2025 Congratulations to Dr. Sajjad! We’re delighted to announce that our colleague Sajjad has successfully defended his PhD thesis on “Highly Filled Biocomposites Modeling, Processing, and Characterization”.
April 2025 Our group recently packed their bags (and a poster) and headed to the Annual European Rheology Conference (AERC 2025) in Lyon. We had strong participation across several sessions — and even managed to turn a small technical hiccup into an impromptu private screening (thanks to our very supportive group members)! It was a great few days of sharing our research, connecting with the rheology community, and getting inspired by new ideas.
January 2025 We’ve officially kicked off the RheoMAXESS theme — Advanced Rheometry for Neutron and X-ray Science — at LINXS in Lund! Our aim is to build a strong research community around ESS and MAX IV, connecting structure and flow through cutting-edge scattering and rheology techniques. The kickoff brought together researchers from academia, industry, and large-scale facilities to launch a collaborative effort in materials innovation for energy, sustainability, and biomedical applications. Read more about the theme here.
January 2025 Our MSc student Manoj Chandregowda successfully presented his thesis 3D Printing of Soft Matter in our lab. Congratulations to Manoj on completing this important milestone and for a great discussion!
