Academic career
Wyss was appointed professor of theoretical nuclear physics at KTH in 2006. [9] [10]
From 2002 to 2016, Wyss served as Vice President of KTH in charge of international education and global partnerships. [3]
After retiring from KTH, Wyss has worked on interdisciplinary projects linking physics and societal challenges. With Ayşe Ataç Nyberg, he co-founded the European ArtEmis Project in 2022 [11] , aimed at building a sensor network to improve earthquake forecasting. [12]
He currently serves as chair of both the governing and science boards of the project. He was the interim director of the Center for New Energy Technology Oskarshamn (CNETO). [13]
He was co-chair for the International advisory board of Beijing Jiaotong University and in 2021 he was appointed to the international advisory board of Shanghai Jiao Tong University. [10]
In 2009, he was reappointed Vice-President for international projects at KTH. [4]
Research and Opinions
Wyss's theoretical contributions in nuclear physics include simplified microscopic-macroscopic approaches and rotational models, notably in studies of backbending and high-spin band structures. [14] [12]
His research has centered on nuclear structure [15] , including rotational motion [16] , backbending phenomena, particle decay [17] and the development of nuclear models linking experimental and theoretical approaches.
He co-authored research on neutron-proton pairing in nuclei and other mass systematics, reinforcing the effectiveness of accessible models in describing complex nuclear behaviors. [18]
In Sweden, he engaged in the debate for nuclear power as an energy source reducing CO2 emission. [19]
