Anne Borg

Anne Borg is a Professor of Condensed Matter Physics at the Department of Physics, Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU), since 1998. She served as Rector of NTNU (2019–2023), Pro-Rector for Education (2017–2019), and Dean of the Faculty of Natural Sciences (2013–2017), with leadership roles in academic governance and sustainability strategy.

• Education: MSc (1982) and PhD (1988) in Physics from the Norwegian Institute of Technology (NTH), now NTNU.
• Research Interests: Surface Physics, Materials Physics, Scanning Probe Microscopy, Photoemission Spectroscopy, and Density Functional Theory, focusing on TiO2 and Pd-based surfaces.
• Scientific Awards: Honorary Doctor at Lund University (2018).

Her publications emphasize surface chemistry, catalytic reactions, and metal-oxide interfaces, with a strong focus on experimental and theoretical studies of water adsorption, CO oxidation, and thin film growth. Collaborations span institutions like MAX IV Laboratory and the European Spallation Source.
