Linus Kron on the chemistry of sustainable paper production

After four years in the Industrial Research School Resource Smart Processes, Linus Kron has recently completed his PhD. In his thesis, he delves into the chemistry behind the cooking step in the sulfate process and shows how molecular transport in wood fibers can play a greater role than previously thought – knowledge that can contribute to a more resource-smart pulp industry.

New AI course trains PhD students in the process industry

How can research in the process industry benefit from AI? That question was answered when Linköping University tailored an AI course for the doctoral students in the business research school Resource-smart processes. Now, one of the PhD students has used AI to analyze data from advanced experiments at the ForMAX research station.

Unique process data paves the way for AI assistants in industry

Separating lignin from cellulose is a crucial step in paper and pulp production. In his post-doctoral project, Farinaz Ebrahimian is using unique data from industry to build a model that describes this process in detail. The model can be used to train AI assistants to help industry move towards more efficient and controlled manufacturing.

Ny AI-satsning ska optimera massakoket

Företagsforskarskolan Resurssmarta processer satsar på AI-forskning. Med hjälp av processdata utvecklar tre post doc:s vid Linköpings universitet och Chalmers AI-stödda modeller som kan göra massatillverkningsprocessen som kallas sulfatkok mer resurseffektiv. ”Vi gör en strategisk satsning där industrins behov styr åt vilket håll forskningen breddas”, säger Merima Hasani, projektledare för Företagsforskarskolan.
