معرفی
Professor Stefan Eriksson is a faculty member in the School of Biosciences, Geography and Physics at Swansea University, where he holds the rank of Professor of Physics. His research focuses on fundamental physics experiments involving antimatter and ultracold matter, particularly within the ALPHA collaboration at CERN. He received his PhD from the University of Helsinki and spent extensive time at Imperial College London before joining Swansea in 2007.
His work includes precision measurements of antihydrogen properties, aiming to compare them with hydrogen to test fundamental physics principles. Recent highlights include leading efforts in antihydrogen spectroscopy with unprecedented precision (reaching parts per trillion) and developing techniques for laser cooling of antihydrogen.
Eriksson’s research also explores quantum technologies, such as nanoscale optics and chip-scale devices for quantum information processing. He has authored over 150 peer-reviewed articles and co-edited the book Antihydrogen and Fundamental Physics.
Awards include a Leverhulme Research Fellowship (2014–2016). His supervision includes multiple PhD students working on antihydrogen synthesis, trapping, and gravity measurements. Collaborations span international teams at CERN and other institutions.
