Maria Strømme

Maria Strømme (born 7 April 1970 in Svolvær) is a Norwegian physicist who lives and works in Sweden.
Career
[edit]She became a professor in nanotechnology at Uppsala University in 2004.[1] She became Sweden's youngest professor in a technical subject.[2] Strømme holds a master of science degree in engineering physics, and completed her doctoral thesis in solid state physics in 1997 at Uppsala University.[3] She became a scientist at Naturvetenskapliga forskningsrådet. Between 2002 and 2007, she worked as an academy physicist and she was elected to the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences. She is also a member of the Royal Swedish Academy of Engineering Sciences, the Norwegian Academy of Technological Sciences[4] and the Norwegian Academy of Science and Letters.[5]
Retracted AIP Advances article
[edit]In 2025, Strømme published the paper "Universal consciousness as foundational field: A theoretical bridge between quantum physics and non-dual philosophy" in AIP Advances. The paper was retracted in 2026 by AIP Publishing and the editors due to concerns about its scientific validity, noting that a central operator in the theory had no associated measurable quantity and that the theory's predictions could not be empirically verified or falsified.[6]
