We highlight prizes, awards, grants and other recognitions for SCI School staff as inspiration and celebration of our collective successes.
Supervisor of the Year Award 2025 goes to Linda Lundström
The winner of the 2025 edition of the “Supervisor of the Year” award is Professor Linda Lundström at the Department of Applied Physics at the SCI School. Professor Lundström has demonstrated a remarkable commitment as a supervisor of her doctoral students. Congratulations!
Johan Håstad honoured with the Royal Society Milner Award 2026
Professor Johan Håstad has been awarded the Royal Society Milner Award and Lecture 2026 for his sustained and transformational contributions to theoretical computer science. He is a pioneer in areas such as circuit complexity, cryptography, parallel computing and optimisation.
Professor Danijela Damjanović has been invited to speak at the International Congress of Mathematicians (ICM) in 2026. Her research is in the area of dynamics, which explores how complex systems evolve over time.
The Borelius Medal was established in 1998, with the support of the Department of Engineering Physics. The medal is named after Gudmund Borelius, Professor of Physics at KTH Royal Institute of Technology, who initiated the Master of Science in Engineering Physics programme in 1932. The medal is awarded by the School of Engineering Sciences and recognises outstanding contributions to the development and success of engineering sciences at KTH.
Why do women, compared to men, not seem to have similar opportunities to pursue an academic career and reach a permanent teaching position? This is what Canalias, Lundström and Prahl Wittberg wanted to find out. They all work at the School of Engineering Sciences and are recipients of the President's Equality and Diversity Award 2023 for their inventory of equality problems at their school.
