from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Sune Svanberg (born January 1, 1943 in Trollhättan ) is a Swedish nuclear physicist .

After graduating from high school in Trollhättan in 1962, he studied natural sciences at the University of Gothenburg and received a Bachelor of Science in 1966 . This was followed by short-term postgraduate studies at the Chalmers University of Technology in Gothenburg and at the Technical University of Berlin , where he researched atomic resonance spectroscopy with Professor H. Bucka. Then he returned to Gothenburg and was established in 1972 with one of I. Lindgren supervised dissertation in this area doctorate . After a post-doctoral year at Columbia University in New York , he continued his laser spectroscopy studies at Chalmers University until 1980.

Then he was appointed professor and head of the Department of Atomic Physics at Lund Technical University , which he stayed until 2008. There he worked intensively for the expansion of laser physics and was involved in the establishment of several new research centers and was appointed founding director of the Lund Laser Center in 1995, which he remained until 2010. Since 2006 he has been Einstein Professor at the Chinese Academy of Sciences . Since 2011 Senior Professor at Lund Technical University and Distinguished Professor at South China Normal University in Guangzhou .

He researches fundamental problems in atomic physics and laser spectroscopy , interactions of matter with high-intensity electromagnetic fields, including laser technology and spectroscopy in environmental measurements and medicine.

Svanberg has seats on several corporate boards and academic associations. Among other things, he is chairman of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences (since 1991) and the Royal Swedish Academy of Engineering (since 1988). From 1998 to 2006 he was chairman of the Nobel Committee of the Science Academy for Physics . From 2004 to 2009 he was on the board of the Swedish Research Council Vetenskapsrådet ( Board of the Swedish Research Council ).

Svanberg has received a number of honorary doctorates and other awards, including the first Azko Nobel Science Award (1999), the Willis E. Lamb Prize (2005), the Celsius Gold Medal of the Royal Society of Sciences in Uppsala (2006) and the Vladimir K. Zworykin Award from the International Federation of Medical and Biological Engineering (2009) and Her Majesty the King's Gold Medal ( Hans Majestät Konungens medalj ) (2012). In 2013 he received the Friendship Prize of the People's Republic of China , the People's Republic's highest award for foreigners.

Svanberg is married and has two grown children.
