Eva Andrei Earns Kavli Prize

(June 10, 2026)

It is with enormous pride and excitement that we celebrate the news that Professor Eva Andrei has received the Kavli Prize in Nanoscience.
The Kavli Prize is one of the world’s most prestigious scientific honors, widely regarded as being at the level of the Nobel Prize in terms of international significance and impact. Awarded only every two years by the Norwegian Academy of Science and Letters, the Kavli Foundation, and the Norwegian Ministry of Education and Research, it recognizes scientists whose discoveries have fundamentally advanced our understanding of nanoscience, astrophysics, and neuroscience.
