Om mig

I investigate the properties of materials, especially magnetism and magnetic materials, using first principles theory and electronic structure calculations. Recently, I am interested in strain gradient or curvature induced magnetic phenomena (flexomagnetism).

I recieved my PhD at the Uppsala University, division for Materials Theory, in 2016, with a thesis focused on first principles theory of magnetic materials. After that I spent three years as postdoctoral researcher at the ETH Zürich in Switzerland, where I studied novel phenomena in multiferroic materials. Next, I started my current research direction of flexomagnetism, as VR International Postdoc hosted at KTH and Institut de Ciencia de Materials de Barcelona (ICMAB-CSIC) in Barcelona, Spain.

My publications are listed on Google Scholar.

I participate in the Method Development for Materials Design (MD2) project of the Swedish e-Science Research Centre (SeRC).

I also participate in the Wallenberg Initiative Materials Science for Sustainability (WISE) through the WISE/WASP joint program, together with Pawel Herman and Madhura Marathe.
