Marjolein Dijkstra has been awarded the 2025 Physica Prize

The Physica Prize, the most prestigious award for physicists in the Netherlands, has been awarded this year to Prof. Dr. Marjolein Dijkstra, professor at Utrecht University.

Dijkstra is recognized as a leading figure in the field of ‘soft matter’, a branch of physics focused on the design and understanding of soft materials, such as polymers, colloids and liquid crystals. She has made significant contributions to advancing physics in the Netherlands, not only through her mentorship of dozens of PhD students and postdoctoral researchers, but also through her active involvement in shaping physics policy.
