It is with great pleasure that we announce that Professor Teresa Peña, from our Department of Physics, has been awarded the title of “Distinguished Professor of IST 2025” at the celebration of the Instituto Superior Técnico Day, which took place on 23 May 2025.

The jury justified this distinction with the following statement: “In recognition of her distinguished scientific career in nuclear theoretical physics, her exceptional contributions to the pedagogical modernisation of Técnico and to academic and scientific management, as well as her valuable dedication to scientific outreach and advanced training, which have elevated the standing of Instituto Superior Técnico both nationally and internationally.”

We would also like to take this opportunity to congratulate Professor José Santos-Victor, from the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, who was likewise distinguished at this annual event.

This distinction recognises the outstanding work of IST’s faculty and further strengthens the prestige of our institution in the academic and scientific arenas.
