Simsong:
John Torkel Wallmark, born June 4 [[1919]] in [[Stockholm]], died [[2007]], was a Swedish [[electrical engineer]] and researcher in [semiconductors|semiconductor electronics]] and [[innovation]] technology.
Torkel Wallmark 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, New Jersey|Princeton]], [[USA]] 1953-1964. <ref name = "WEATHER"> </ref> <ref name = "CTH"> [https://ift.tt/2YoIlIh Chalmers: Torkel Wallmark], read 10 August 2009 </ref>
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. <Ref name = "WEATHER" />) In 1983 he transferred to a personal professorship in innovation technology at Chalmers, which was the first in this subject area in Sweden. <Ref name = "CTH" /> Wallmark's business in innovation technology has contributed to the establishment of [[seed companies]] based on research at Swedish technical colleges, especially Chalmers. <ref name = "NE"> [[Nationalencyclopedin]] band 19 (1996), the reference word '' Torkel Wallmark '' </ref>
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 [[Polhems Prize]] for research in the field of solid state electronics, 1989 [[KTH's grand prize]] for building an innovation center at Chalmers, <ref> </ref> and 1989 [[The Academy of Engineering Sciences]] major gold medal with the motivation "" "for his internationally outstanding efforts in semiconductor technology and his incentive for industrial new enterprise" ''. <ref> </ref>
