Nordic Rheology Society

Rheology is defined as the science of the deformation and flow of matter, which means that rheology in some form enters almost every study of material properties. In the Nordic countries, rheological measurements have become standard techniques in both industrial and academic research. The Nordic Rheology Society has been formed as a meeting ground for engineers, physicists, chemists and biologists engaged in rheology in industry and academia.

We are excited to announce that this year's winner of the NRS Young Rheologist Award is Julie Frost Dahl.

The Young Rheologist Award is given to a young person, who has made outstanding work in basic or applied rheology at the graduate or postgraduate level.

Julie has recently completed her PhD at Aarhus University, Denmark under the supervision of Milena Corredig. In her research, she developed strategies for characterising and predicting anisotropic food structures, which is of great relevance for novel foods such as meat analogues. She now works as a scientist at IFF in Brabrand, Denmark.

Julie will deliver her award lecture "Measure, understand, and predict structure formation in plant-based anisotropic foods – using rheology" at the joint Nordic Rheology Conference & DRG Symposium 2025 in Berlin: https://nordicrheologysociety.org/Home/Nrc

Congratulations for this great and well-deserved achievement, Julie!

We are happy to announce that Prof. Mats Stading is this year's recipient of the Karl Clason Rheology Award!

This award is given to a person who has made outstanding contributions to the basic understanding of rheological phenomena and/or the application of rheology.

Professor Mats Stading has his main research activities at RISE Research Institutes of Sweden and is also Adjunct Professor at Industrial and Materials Science at Chalmers University of Technology, both located in Gothenburg, Sweden. He has an MSc degree in Engineering Physics and has then widened his scope with a PhD in biophysics and a post-doc in tissue engineering at MIT. Since then, he is back in Gothenburg for positions at Chalmers and RISE.

Professor Stading is internationally active leading research projects in Europe, Africa and Asia. Within rheology, he has been active in the Nordic Rheology Society board since the start of the Society and was also President and board member of the European Society of Rheology.

His research involves rheology applied to biopolymer fluids, gels and melts. Current hot topics include plant protein melts for meat replacement and foods with safe swallowing for seniors.

Professor Stading will present his award lecture "From fluid to solid research" at the joint Nordic Rheology Conference and DRG Symposium in Berlin in June 2025: https://nordicrheologysociety.org/Home/Nrc

Congratulations to Prof. Mats Stading for this fantastic achievement!
