Tinh Sjökvist | Lnu.se

I am a PhD student at Department Forestry and Wood Technology connected to The Bridge - a unique collaboration between IKEA and Linnaeus University. A programme for entrepreneurship, innovation and production – for a better everyday life at home for the many people. A multi-disciplinary research and education cooperation on life at home and the conditions of production. My research topic is focused on the interactions between different painting systems and wood properties.

Tinh Sjökvist presents her research within the Bridge, a collaboration between Linnaeus University and IKEA, about how to select wood for long lasting coated products.
