The selection process is based on the evaluation of the impact of the theses, their subsequent journal and conference publications and related citations received, and on the review reports of three independent reviewers as well as on the download statistics. See the the thesis entitled "Estimation of Nonlinear Dynamic Systems Theory and Applications" The award was handed out at the 21 European Signal Processing Conference held in Marrakech, Morocco on 9-13 September 2013.
  • This year's ES-course 2012/2013 (Energy Program) (Årets ES-kurs 2012/2013 - Energisystemprogrammet): Hans Norlander received the award for his course "Reglerteknik I" with the motivation (in Swedish): Reglerteknik I är en väl upplagd och genomtänkt kurs med hög uppskattning bland energisystemstudenter. Kursens delmoment, så som process- och beräkningslaborationer, ger ökad förståelse för kursens innehåll och bidrar i hög grad till inlärningen. Föreläsare Hans Norlander är väldigt uppskattad med pedagogiskt genomtänkta föreläsningar och stort engagemang för sina studenter. Reglerteknik är en viktig kurs med hög relevans för studenter vid energisystemprogrammet. Tillsammans med detta och dess höga omdömen vid kursutvärderingar år efter år tilldelas den nu Årets ES-kurs 2012/2013!
  • Bengt Carlsson has received the award "ES-course 2011/2012 (Energisystemprogrammet) for the course Empirisk modellering with the motivation (January 2013) (In Swedish): Empirisk modellering är en väldigt omtyckt kurs med höga betyg på kursutvärderingarna år efter år. Kursen är välstrukturerad och kursansvarig Bengt Carlsson är en uppskattad föreläsare. Bengt är väldigt engagerad och hans pedagogiska insats lyfter omdömet ytterligare. I kursen ingår ett projekt vilket upplevs ge god förståelse för vad kunskaperna från kursen senare ska användas till. Empirisk modellering är en väl genomtnkt kurs med hög relevans för programmet och den tilldelas därför priset för Årets ES-kurs 2011/2012.

2012

  • SAIS thesis price 2012: Ronald Rodrigo Gumucio Escobar (student) has received SAIA thesis price 2012 (SAIS exjobbspris 2012) for the thesis entitled "Constraints on Set Variables for Constraint-based Local Search". Supervisor was Pierre Flener. The motivation follows: "The award goes to Rodrigo Ronald Gumucio Escobar for his thesis entitled "Constraints on Set Variables for Constraint-based Local Search". The thesis is of unusual technical strength, and it is presented in a report that is thorough and self-contained. The results presented in the thesis advance the state-of-the-art in constraint programming, a core field of Artificial Intelligence, and contribute solutions of high academic standard to both theoretical and practical problems. The thesis contains two main contributions, firstly, he extends the local search solver of the well-known Comet constraint programming system so as to handle set variables, and secondly, he demonstrates that a higher level of modelling often bears no cost: on the contrary, it can improve the solution time or be a necessity in terms of memory."

2011

  • Best Student Paper Award: Marcus Björk has received the "Eusipco 2011 Best Student Paper Award" for the paper "Signal Processing Algorithms for Removing Banding Artifacts in MRI" co-authored with E Gudmundson (Lund), J Barral (Stanford) and P Stoica (Uppsala). Eusipco, which in 2011 was held in Barcelona, is the largest European Conference on Signal and Image Processing.

2010

2008

  • Arnold Pears is one of the 2008 years pedagogic prizewinners appointed by Uppsala universitet". Read the motivation in Swedish.
    • Andreas Thunberg som läser Miljö- och vattenteknik har fått Rambölls stipendium för Sveriges bästa examensarbete läsåret 2006/2007 inom VA-teknik. Andreas har studerat hur Käppala avloppsreningsverket kan spara energi med hjälp av smartare styr- och reglerstrategier. Han har visat att energibesparingen kan bli uppemot 20 procent med den nya tekniken utan att reningen av avloppsvatten försämras. Detta leder till stora besparingar för reningsverket och är ett viktigt steg i målsättningen att göra reningen av avloppsvatten resurseffektivare. Ämnesgranskare för examensarbetet var Bengt Carlsson.
