In recognition of his outstanding contribution to the study of photochemical polymerization, of dynamic processes inducing either photophysical or photochemical patways. He studied systems involving polymers but also crystals at the liquid-solid interface and developed techniques to detect single molecules.





 

In recognition of his outstanding contributions in the fields of ecological modeling, management of ecosystems, ecosystem theory, ecological engineering and ecological thermodynamics. He is one of the few multidisciplinary researchers that has understood how to integrate several disciplines to solve ecological and environmental problems. Sven Erik Jørgensen has been able to integrate ecology (particularly systems ecology), with management and technological issues (ecological engineering) and thermodynamics and has developed ecological models as an integration tool.



 

In recognition of his outstanding achievements in fundamental aspects of modern mechanics. He personally developed the theory of composite materials including all levels of composite material structure: macro, meso, and micro. He is also one well-known leader  in the three-dimensional linearized theory of stability of solids.
