Stig Stenholm
Stig Torsten Stenholm (26 February 1939 – 30 September 2017) was a
Academy of Finland
professorship.
Education and career
Stenholm obtained an engineering degree at the
quantum liquids under supervision of Dirk ter Haar
.
From 1967 to 1968, he performed postdoctorate work at Yale University. He obtained his a position as professor at the University of Helsinki in 1974. In 1980, Stenholm was appointed as the scientific director of the Research Institute for Theoretical Physics (TFT). His colleague Kalle-Antti Suominen later affirmed: "As a director Stig was very broad-minded and without this the happy atmosphere of TFT could not have existed."[2]
In the 1990s, the TFT was replaced, and the
Royal Institute of Technology
in Stockholm, Sweden. He retired in 2005.
He delivered the presentation speech for the 2005 Nobel Prize in Physics at the Stockholm Concert Hall.[3]
Work
Stenholm specialised on
Bose–Einstein condensation and quantum information
.
Honors
He received an
Academy of Finland professorship for the work he performed from 1992 to 1997, and he was member of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences,[2] the Austrian Academy of Sciences, the Finnish Society of Sciences and Letters and the Swedish Academy of Engineering Sciences in Finland.[4]
