The Division of Machine Elements (ME) at the Department of Engineering Science and Mathematics is a research group that enthusiastically works for a more sustainable world with decreasing climate and environmental impact. We work with research that creates the prerequisites for development of products and processes that are energy efficient, preferably fossil-free and renewable. We are a large and growing group with approximately thirty PhD students and ten supervisors. In our doctoral education (PhD@ME), we strive for the doctoral student to develop into an expert in the subject but also develop as a person and become a skilled researcher. A professional who, after her/his PhD, can initiate and lead research projects within the university world or in industry and other parts of society. Being part of the research group means working in an international and creative environment with good resources and an extensive international contact network.
