We are delighted to congratulate Gunther Uhlmann on being awarded the Sven Berggren Prize of the Royal Physiographic Society of Lund. The Berggren Prize is awarded to an eminent person who has distinguished themselves in the service of science or society. Professor Uhlmann was awarded the prize in recognition of his groundbreaking mathematical work on inverse problems, imaging, microlocal analysis, partial differential equations and invisibility. The Royal Physiographic Society, also known as the Academy for the Natural Sciences, Medicine and Technology, promotes scientific endeavor in all of these disciplines. The Berggren Prize was first awarded in 1995. Previous awardees include five Nobel Laureates.
