dbo:abstract
  • John Torkel Wallmark (4 June 1919 – 5 February 2007) was a Swedish electrical engineer and researcher in semiconductor electronics and innovation technology. Torkel Wallmark was born in Stockholm. He graduated from the Royal Institute of Technology in 1944, became technology licentiate in 1947 and technology doctor in 1953. He was then a researcher at Radio Corporation of America in Princeton, US 1953–1964. In 1964, he returned to Sweden as a professor in solid state electronics at Chalmers University of Technology. (The professorship was initially named electron physics III.) In 1983 he transferred to a personal professorship in innovation technology at Chalmers, which was the first in this subject area in Sweden. Torkel Wallmark's business in innovation technology has contributed to the establishment of seed companies based on research at Swedish technical colleges, especially Chalmers. Torkel Wallmark was elected as a member of the Swedish Academy of Sciences in 1970 and became a member of the Academy of Sciences in 1984. He was awarded the 1982 for research in the field of solid state electronics, 1989 for building an innovation center at Chalmers, and 1989 major gold medal with the motivation "for his internationally outstanding efforts in semiconductor technology and his incentive for industrial new enterprise".

  • John Torkel Wallmark, född 4 juni 1919 i Stockholm, död 5 februari 2007 i Kungsbacka, var en svensk elektroingenjör och forskare inom halvledarelektronik och innovationsteknik. Torkel Wallmark tog civilingenjörsexamen vid Kungliga Tekniska högskolan 1944, blev teknologie licentiat 1947 och teknologie doktor 1953. Han var därefter forskare vid Radio Corporation of America i Princeton, USA 1953–1964. År 1964 återvände han till Sverige som professor i fasta tillståndets elektronik vid Chalmers tekniska högskola. (Professuren benämndes inledningsvis elektronfysik III). Han övergick 1983 till en personlig professur i innovationsteknik vid Chalmers, som var den första inom detta ämnesområde i Sverige. Wallmarks verksamhet inom innovationsteknik har bidragit till etablerandet av baserade på forskning vid svenska tekniska högskolor, särskilt Chalmers. Torkel Wallmark invaldes 1970 som ledamot av Ingenjörsvetenskapsakademien och blev 1984 ledamot av Vetenskapsakademien. Han tilldelades 1982 Polhemspriset för forskning inom området fasta tillståndets elektronik, 1989 KTH:s stora pris för att ha byggt upp innovationcentrum vid Chalmers, och 1989 Ingenjörsvetenskapsakademiens stora guldmedalj med motiveringen "för hans internationellt sett framstående insatser inom halvledartekniken och hans stimulans till industriellt nyföretagande". Torkel Wallmark är begravd på Gamla kyrkogården i Kungsbacka. (sv)
