Erik Höglund professor and "own product"

In a brochure at Luleå University of Technology's 20th anniversary in 1991, it is stated in the caption next to a portrait of Erik Höglund: "Erik Höglund professor and" own product ". All those who have been at Luleå University of Technology for a long time understand exactly what is meant by those words. Erik Höglund was the first student to go all the way to a professor at Luleå University of Technology. This means that he has a master's degree in engineering, a doctorate, and been appointed professor - all this at Luleå University of Technology.
