I am a theoretical physicist who works within surface science, heterogeneous catalysis, and materials for energy applications. Research interests include charge-transfer processes, hot-electron chemistry, surface reactions, phase transformations, and time evolution of catalytic reactions. I received my Ph. D. in theoretical physics in 2003 from the University of Gothenburg, followed by postdoctoral studies at Haldor Topsoe A/S, Denmark’s Technical University at the Chalmers University of Technology, Sweden. I am currently a professor at the Department of Physics and is also associated with the Competence Centre for Catalysis, Chalmers. I am also a senior strategic advisor to the Area of Advance (AoA) Energy, Chalmers, and the coordinator of the Master programme of Physics (MPPHS), Chalmers.
