Bo Cederwall

Bo Cederwall is a Professor of Physics at the Department of Nuclear Science and Engineering at KTH Royal Institute of Technology. His research focuses on experimental and applied nuclear physics, including studies of nuclear reactions at international facilities like GANIL (France), JYFL (Finland), and FAIR (Germany). He leads the Swedish participation in the AGATA project and pioneered the Neutron Gamma Emission Tomography (NGET) for nuclear waste characterization.

Education:

• Master of Science in Engineering Physics, KTH (1987)
• PhD in Experimental Nuclear Physics, KTH (1992)

Research Interests: Experimental nuclear physics, nuclear structure, radiation detection technology, and applications in nuclear safety, medical diagnostics, and nonproliferation. His work bridges fundamental research and practical solutions, such as NGET, which won the EURATOM Innovation Prize (2022).

Notable Projects: AGATA (nuclear structure), NGET (waste imaging), and DESPEC (gamma spectroscopy). He has secured funding from the EU, Swedish Research Council, and Wallenberg Foundation.

Awards: Royal Swedish Academy of Engineering Sciences' Innovation Top 100 (2021), EURATOM Innovation Prize (2022).

Labs/Teams: AGATA collaboration, DESPEC project, and the Nuclear Physics Division at KTH (2011–2023).
