Recent news

[Dec, 2008] – Divided appointment: Physics at Gothenburg University and Solid State Physics at Lund University – Research on DNA in confined spaces will take place primarily in Gothenburg and research on microfluidics for particle sorting as well as bio-applications of semiconductor nanowires will take place in Lund.

[Sep, 2008] – Paper on anomalous behavior in the bumper array – “Multi-directional sorting modes in deterministic lateral displacement devices”, PRE 2008 Abstract

[Feb 28, 2008] – Paper on tunable particle sorting – “Tuneable separation in elastomeric microfluidics devices”, LabChip 2008 Abstract

[Nov 15, 2007] – Swedish Research Council – “DNA in nanoscale confined environments”, project grant addressing gene mapping, protein-DNA interactions and compactation of DNA.

[Oct 1, 2007] – Docent* in Solid State Physics

[Sep 20, 2007] - Senior Research Fellowship awarded by the Swedish Research Council – “Cell biology and biophysics in microfabricated environments”

[Sep 18, 2007] - FP7 (European Union) – “READNA – Revolutionary Approaches and Devices for Nucleic Acid Analysis”, project grant for development of novel sequencing and DNA-analysis techniques with 16 partners.

[Aug 1, 2007] – Paper on DNA in nanochannels – “Nanoconfinement-enhanced conformational response of single DNA molecules to changes in ionic environment”, PRL 2007 Abstract

[March 27, 2007] - HFSP funding granted – We just received funding from HFSP to pursue a highly interdisciplinary project entitled “The molecular mechanism of chromosome reorganization during sporulation of Bacillus subtilis” together with Omar Saleh at Santa Barbara, California, and Sigal Ben-Yehuda at the Hebrew University, Jerusalem.

(*) – To be accepted as Docent a scientific production comparable to at least one additional PhD degree is required as well as documented pedagogical experience and training. It could be compared to a German Habitilation although there are of course differences in the detailed requirements.

PostDoc and/or PhD student positions available in nanofluidics!

Several of the above-mentioned project grants will provide funding for postdocs and/or PhD students primarily based in my lab in Gothenburg benefiting from in-house state of the art nanofabrication facilities at MC2.

In addition, benefiting from the world-class semiconductor nanowire activities in Lund we may offer additional PostDoc and PhD student position in nanofluidics in Lund.

For those wishing to apply for an individual postdoc grant, both national and international candidates are welcome at the following funding agencies with yearly deadlines as indicated below. If you are interested, we will help you submit an application.

Swedish Research Council (February and August)

Wenner-Gren Foundations (October)

Carl Trygger Foundation (May)
