At the division, we conduct research and offer education within our subject area – Engineering Geology. The research is mainly financed externally. We have several courses at the Faculty of Engineering, but we also offer opportunities for thesis work (BSc, MSc, PhD). We interact with society around us, and we have close collaboration with international colleagues over the world. Contact Division c

Our research focuses on the characterization of materials and water in the geologic environment or in civil engineering contexts. This includes geo‑resource engineering (covering near surface exploration technology, drilling technology and well construction, aquifer engineering, and hydrogeology), as well as non‑destructive testing, production control and monitoring on land and in water, and appli

For many double stranded (ds) DNA viruses the viral genome is actively packaged into the virus capsid by a powerful molecular motor. This results in an energetically unfavorable state of the packaged genome, creating tens of atmospheres internal pressure inside the virion. Using a new calorimetric assay to determine the activation energy barriers associated with genome loss in response to elevated

Virus Biophysics Virus Biophysics is a rather new field that seeks to define the physical mechanisms controlling virus development. This knowledge can provide information essential to the rational design of new antiviral strategies with less specificity for a limited number of viruses. Furthermore, biological and physical simplicity relative to other biological systems have made viruses an attract

Our Biophysical ToolsOur research group investigates mechanics of viral replication, virus-host interactions, virus assembly and disassembly within the host. Specifically, we investigate energetics, structure and mobility of the intra-capsid genome as well as mechanical properties of viral capsids, influenced by changes in physiological environment that are important for viral replication.

We use atomic force microscopy (AFM) nano-indentation method to measure DNA mobility in the capsid. The mobility of DNA packaged inside the HSV-1 capsid is measured by recording the force resisting the capsid indentation when the AFM tip is brought into contact with the DNA-filled capsid in solution. Force resisting the AFM tip indentation of the capsid is recorded as the force-distance curve. Cap
