Finnish Science Prize
The Finnish Science Prize (Suomen tiedepalkinto) is a Finnish science award established in 1997 and awarded every two years. It is given in recognition of high-quality and internationally significant scientific research conducted in Finland by a scientist or research group. The award is presented by the Finnish Ministry of Education and Culture upon the recommendation of the board of the Academy of Finland. In 2015, the award had a value of 85,000 euros. Since 2019, the prize has been 100,000 euros.

= Jukka Pekola =

Jukka Pekola (born 1958 in Pihlajavesi, Finland) is a Finnish physicist known for his contributions to the fields of superfluid helium-3 and nanoscale devices. He has held various academic positions and received awards for his research.

Early Life and Education
Jukka Pekola earned an M.Sc. in technology with a physics specialization from the Helsinki University of Technology (HUT) in 1982. He completed his doctoral degree in 1984, focusing on critical flow and persistent current experiments in superfluid helium-3, an important area of condensed matter physics.

Career
After completing his doctorate, Pekola pursued a career in academia. He worked as a postdoctoral researcher in the physics department of the University of California, Berkeley, furthering his research on superfluids. Later, he returned to HUT and became a group leader in the low-temperature laboratory. In 1992, Pekola joined the University of Jyväskylä, co-founding Finland's first nanophysics laboratory. He also became a faculty member in 1995. His research in the physics of nanoscale devices led to several breakthroughs. In 2002, Jukka Pekola returned to Helsinki and is currently a full professor of quantum nanophysics at Aalto University. He established the PICO research group in the low-temperature laboratory, which he continues to lead.

Honors and Awards
Pekola's contributions to physics have been recognized with academic honors. In 2001, he was elected to the Finnish Academy of Science and Letters for his work in advancing scientific knowledge. He received the Theodor Homén Prize from the Finnish Academy of Science and Letters in 2016. Jukka Pekola's career has been marked by his dedication to the study of superfluids and his pioneering research in the physics of nanoscale devices, contributing to the field of physics.
