The Faculty
The Faculty of Technology and Society (TS) offers educations and research in computer science and media technology as well as engineering, natural sciences and applied mathematics. A characteristic of our research and teaching is the engagement of companies and other organizations as active participants. The faculty is located in Malmö city close to the Malmö central station.

The Department
The Department of Materials Science and Applied Mathematics unite interdisciplinary education and research in mainly three areas: engineering, natural science and mathematics. Three engineering programmes at bachelor level are offered: Building Engineering, Mechanical and Materials Engineering and Product Development and Design. In addition, the Science and Technology Foundation Year programme is offered. A programme on master level, Computational Materials Science, will be offered from autumn 2019.
The Department of Materials Science and Applied Mathematics offers an active and international environment. Research at the department is conducted in three groups; materials science, applied physics and mathematics, and construction science. Major areas of investigation are hydrogen embrittlement of metals, development of microstructures in metallic materials, computational and experimental atomic physics, astrophysics, applied mathematics and sustainable construction. The research in materials science is mainly focused on development of physically based material models using density functional theory, quantum chemistry, molecular dynamics, phase field theory and continuum mechanics, and related computational methods. The results from calculations and simulations of material behaviour are validated against experimental data, and the research group in materials science is actively engaged as users of X-ray and neutron diffraction techniques at international research facilities.
