Research specialisations
Future Energy Center
Research focusing on renewable energy, energy efficiency and emission mitigation, as well as smarter modelling, optimisation and management.
Health and Welfare
An interdisciplinary specialisation, an area for research studies and a field of knowledge where health research and welfare research meet studying different aspects of health.
Embedded Systems
Computer science related to computers running entire systems or parts of systems, often with a demand for real-time operation, in everything from home appliances to aeroplanes.
Industrial Economics and Management
Research focusing on for example the sustainable development of industry and working life.
Innovation and Product Realisation

Smarter AI vehicles with the help of citizens in Västerås
Researchers at Mälardalen University are to carry out tests in Västerås to be able to improve AI vehicles. The test results will help researchers to develop computer systems in vehicles that are able to discover risk behaviour in people and thereby prevent traffic accidents.

During the corona pandemic, more and more people work from home, which affects not only the work situation but also health and productivity. Right now, a feasibility study is underway for a research project that will help employees and businesses to streamline the work situation at a home office for similar situations.
