Sten Ljungström has a master in mathematics and physics. SL worked as a high school teacher for ten years before starting Ph.D studies. In 1988 he received a Ph.D in the Molecular Physics group at Göteborg University and Chalmers University of Technology. The fields of interest are molecular physics, surface science, heterogenous catalysis, nanotechnology and science communication. SL was postdoctor at the quantum optics laboratory (Laboratoire d´Optique Quantique) at Ecole Polytechnique in Paris and Assistant Professor in the atomic physics group (Laboratoire Spectrometri Physique) at Université Joseph Fourier in Grenoble, France 1988-1990, at the Department of Molecular Physics at Chalmers University of Technology and ESCA-LASER Laboratory at Uppsala University 1991–1994. SL was director for the Competence Centre for Catalysis (KCK) at Chalmers University of Technology 1995 – 2002. SL is since September 2002 Scientific Director at Universeum, Göteborg.
