Bringing research to the lab to prove his theories
Using knowledge from one field in another can lead to unexpected breakthroughs. Wallenberg Scholar Emil Bergholtz has established a system to constantly explore new fields. The next step is to substantiate his theories within topological systems by building an extremely sensitive sensor.

Bergholtz is driven by curiosity and a determination to constantly develop himself and his knowledge.
“It’s difficult to innovate as a researcher if you restrict yourself to one and the same field. What’s more, tackling new disciplines offers a number of advantages. You’re not burdened by preconceived notions or detailed knowledge that can create obstacles,” says Bergholtz, professor of theoretical physics at Stockholm University.
