The source confirms most of the education details but contains one discrepancy: the claim states 'B.Sc. Physics' from Royal Institute of Technology, but the Wikipedia source lists 'MSE' (Master of Science in Engineering), not a B.Sc. The source also does not specify the field of study (Physics) for the BA or the year (1992) for the MA degree. The PhD year (1994) is confirmed by the thesis date. The partial mismatch on the Royal Institute degree type (MSE vs B.Sc. Physics) prevents full confirmation.
