 Biography

I   graduated 1979 as PhD in experimental atomic and molecular physics  at  Uppsala University, Sweden,  under the supervision of Nobel laureate Kai Siegbahn. After a couple of PostDoc years in USA I became in 1981 assistant professor in Quantum Chemistry at Lund U, in 1983 associate professor in the same subject at Uppsala U, and in 1989 research professor appointed by the Natural Science Research Council. I became the first in Sweden holder of a chair in Computational Physics in 1990 (Linköping University) and first at KTH (Royal institite of Technology, Stockholm) holder of a chair in Theoretical Chemistry in 1998, where I head (to 2017) the Department of Theoretical Chemistry and Biology. Since 2018 I am back in Uppsala, now as Senior professor. I participate in a number of national and international networks in my research areas and hold several guest professorships abroad. Among awards I can mention the Uppsala Bjurzon award, the Swedish Björn Roos award and the Changjiang Distinguished Professorship awarded by the Ministry of Education of China.
