That physics has a long history in Lund is no exaggeration. The subject is already present when the university is founded in 1666. In 1735, the department gets its first own premises in Kungshuset in Lundagård. At the department, research is currently conducted in almost all areas of modern physics. The Department of Physics is one of Lund University's largest departments with almost 400 employees

On May 3, 2021, my heart was pounding a little harder than it usually does. On my way to Lund, thoughts raced through my head. What had I embarked on? One of the country's foremost academic departments apparently wanted me, and wanted me to shape and lead their new unified administration. A question kept spinning in my mind all the way to Fysicum that morning. Would I really be able to handle this
