Dr/THS

When was the last time you wore your traditional clothes, dressed up something nice to feel amazing, or to impress your date? What more to feel great about yourself while having a great time at once-in-a-PhD event! It is time to dress up in your traditional clothes or something nice, to showcase part of your identity outside of research and to celebrate the proud 45 years that the PhD Chapter has been active at KTH. Register here for your spot, register here for your plus 1s/Alumnis/Post-Docs, and we promise it will only be an amazing night of activities, fun, laughter, amazing photos, and memories. This year, we are going extravagant! So book a spot fast as we have very limited seats for this milestone celebration.

Tip: A traditional gasque of this stature usually costs more than 1500 kr. The PhD Chapter is covering a lot of expenses so definitely take this opportunity.

We are delighted to bring you the result of the 2025 Supervisor of the Year Award! As you probably already know, this is an award that the PhD Chapter of THS launched for the first time in the academic year 2020, in order to highlight exemplary supervision practices in Third Cycle Education at KTH. This year, we had the fourth edition of this award.

Overall, we received 49 nominations. An independent jury of PhD students, in which all five schools were represented, finished evaluating the nominations.
The winner of the 2025 edition of the Supervisor of the year award, is… Linda Lundström!

Linda Lundström works in the Department of Applied Physics at the SCI school and has exemplified tremendous commitment as a supervisor of her doctoral students.

Given the large pool of incredible candidates, it was, without a doubt, a difficult task to select just one winner. We would like to stress our gratitude for the outstanding dedication of all nominees for their doctoral students, and, not less importantly, for the students that nominated their supervisors! They are all winners.

Thank you for staying tuned and helping us improve doctoral education!
