Knut and Alice Wallenberg Foundation

The Knut and Alice Wallenberg Foundation has for decades played an important role for funding of cutting-edge equipment, including a large enabling grant when the Lund Nano Lab was built.
Today, the Foundation grants funding in the following areas: research projects of high scientific potential, infrastructure of national importance and individual support of excellent scientists.

Researchers within NanoLund have received the following grants: 

Research projects of high scientific potential:

  • Transforming ceramics into next-generation semiconductors, Vanya Darakchieva, 2024
  • The molecular mechanism and thermodynamics of chaperone action, Sara Linse, 2022
  • Photofunctional iron complexes. Kenneth Wärnmark, 2019
  • Controlled atomic scale 3D ordering for exotic electronic phases. Kimberly Dick Thelander, 2018
  • Nanothermodynamics for optoelectronic semiconductor devices. Heiner Linke, 2016
  • Physical chemistry of peptide-lipid co-assembly: from lipid-rich to peptide-rich. Sara Linse, 2016
  • A new generation of slow light systems. Stefan Kröll, 2016
  • Anisotropic Forces in Colloid Chemistry. Peter Schurtenberger, 2014
  • Aerotaxy: a revolutionary new way to grow semiconductor nanowires.  Lars Samuelson, 2011 (with continuation grants in 2013 and 2015)
  • Controlling quantum coherence. Tönu Pullerits, 2011
