Telephone Director H.T. Cedergren's Medal to SweWIN's Director
Professor Emil Björnson, the center's director, has been awarded a silver medal from the Telephone Director H.T. Cedergren's foundation.
The foundation was established in 1909 through a gift from Cedergren and normally provides scholarships for Swedish electrical engineers. The medal is awarded once every five years to "an outstanding author in the field of electrical engineering". The motivation for the award stressed Emil's authorship of textbooks and the spreading of knowledge through YouTube, podcasts, and blog posts.
“I’m deeply honored to get this medal and very surprised as I’m only 41”, says Professor Emil Björnson. “Wireless technology is more vital than ever, which is why I share my knowledge in both publications and social media.”
The award was given at KTH's diploma ceremony on December 18.
