Most stochastic geometry models use point processes as basic building blocks. Illustrated here is a special point process model that has a self-similar property, which means a small random segment is identical to the overall structure. (Graphics: Aarhus University)
In stochastic geometry, the size of a spatial object is estimated by sending random lines into the area containing the object and determining the number of lines that strike the object (shown here as yellow lines). (Image: Aarhus University)
Stereology makes it possible to calculate estimates of the parameters for a spatial structure – such as the volume and surface area – based on observations along lines or on planes via a reference point. At CSGB, research is carried out into local stereological methods to determine volume and surface tensors, which can provide new information about shape and orientation distribution in cell populations.

Mathematics research is a global success

Analytical methods developed by mathematicians at Aarhus University have become standard in microscopy on an international level. The mathematical discipline is called stochastic geometry, and the methods are used for purposes such as analysing advanced image data from biological tissue, with a view to understanding cellular changes in brain…

Bales of straw wrapped in plastic, which for that matter could be made of straw. Bioplast – or polylactide (PLA) – is a known technology that will be streamlined by means of catalytic conversion in one of the research projects. Photo: Colourbox.

DKK 160 million for research into highly refined bioproducts

Plant residue can be used for more than fuel – it is possible to use the residue for products such as biologically degradable plastic.

Seaweed cultivation works in Denmark’s Lim Fjord

Time for seaweed. In radiant spring sunshine, students and researchers from Aarhus University’s Department of Bioscience and staff from the Danish Shellfish Centre gathered tons of seaweed from their cultivation lines in the Lim Fjord (Limfjorden).
