Magnus Willander Fellow of The Institute of Physics

Professor Magnus Willander was elected to Fellow of The Institute of Physics (IOP) in April 2012, at a meeting in the council of IOP

Support for Research on Organic Thermoelectric Materials

Recently, the Swedish Energy Agency and the Swedish Foundation for Strategic Research (SSF) have decided to support the research on organic thermoelectric materials guided by Xavier Crispin from the group of Organic Electronics. The SSF project will allows bringing together the best material scientists in the field of thermoelectrics in Sweden. The results of these research projects will be to create new materials and devices that can transform the natural heat source and waste heat (60% of the primary energy course) into electricity.

Magnus Willander Fellow Award from the American Physical Society

On November 2011 meeting, the American Physical Society (APS) has decided that Magnus Willander, who is a Professor of Physical Electronics at ITN, Campus Norrköping, Linköping University be awarded a full Fellow status. The election of Prof. Willander by the APS is in recognition to his ‘outstanding’ contributions to Physics. The citation, which will appear on the Fellowship Certificate will read as follows: ’’Pioneering work on realization polymer, silicon-germanium transistors, and silicon carbide. Significant contributions on modeling solid and soft nanostructures, and experimental works on nanostructures, particularly zinc oxide nanostructures’’. This award will be published in the March 2012 issue of APS News.

Chemical Sensors/ Prof. Magnus Willander Award

The journal of Chemical Sensors has allocated an annual Award in appreciation of the contribution of Prof. Magnus Willander in the area of nanosensors, especially in recognition of the pioneering recent research work on intracellular sensing. The award is called: Prof. Magnus Willander Award, This award will be announced annually for the best paper(s) in "Chemical Sensors" in the area of nanosensors.
