Young researchers at Uppsala University have been awarded Göran Gustafsson Prizes in Engineering Physics. Patrick Sandoz at the Department of Materials Science has been awarded the three-year prize, while the one-year prize goes to Chenyu Wen at the Department of Electrical Engineering.

The Göran Gustafsson Foundation consists of two foundations with different focuses, one of which awards prizes in medicine and engineering physics at Uppsala University, as well as in engineering physics at KTH. The major Göran Gustafsson Prize at UU/KTH consists of a research grant totaling 3.75 million Swedish kronor, distributed over three years. The maximum age of the winners is 36 years.
