At Becquerel Sweden, we work exclusively with topics related to PV, and there is usually a link to data collection, generation or analysis. Often we have ongoing research and development projects suitable for diploma projects, suitable for engineering students, specialising in fields such as renewable energy, IT or engineering physics.
We have a good understanding of the importance of the thesis for the individual student, and hold experience of supervising both on-site and remotely. We are happy to offer our graduate students a desk at our office in Knivsta.
Expression of Interest
We regularly advertise possible projects for graduate students. You can find these through our linkedin page.
However, opportunities are not limited to our advertised positions. We are prepared to tailor a project based on your profile, provided it aligns with our ongoing projects and we have the capacity to host a thesis candidate. It is advisable to contact us at least a couple of weeks prior to the start of your course. Alternatively, you may submit an expression of interest, and we will reach out if a suitable project becomes available. In that case, please send your CV and a cover letter to: johan@becquerelsweden.se.
