In the Department of Applied Physics at Aalto, I lead the Computational Electronic Structure Theory (CEST) group. My group and I are developing advanced quantum mechanical methods and apply them to pertinent problems in material science, surface science, physics, chemistry and the nano sciences. Quantum mechanics gives us access to the behavior of atoms and electrons and allows us to gain an atomistic view of matter. Examples are the atomic structure of surfaces or hybrid organic-inorganic interfaces. Perturbing the atoms and electrons, as done in spectroscopies, reveals more information about matter. We use theoretical spectroscopy to probe the properties of molecules, molecules on surfaces, nanostructures, semiconductors including d- and f-electron oxides and materials for photovoltaic applications.

Background

Born in Germany in 1975, I studied physics in Heidelberg, Germany, before moving to England. I graduated from the University of York in England in 2003 with a Ph.D. in theoretical physics. Subsequently, I became a post-doctoral scholar and then a group leader at the Fritz Haber Institute (FHI) of the Max Planck Society in Berlin, Germany. From 2007 to 2009, I was a post-doctoral scholar at the Materials Department at the University of California Santa Barbara (UCSB).
