I'm currently a second year PhD student in the Department of Chemistry at KTH Royal Institute of Technology. I work with Mats Jonsson and Tore Brinck on interfacial radiation chemistry.

Research

My research project at KTH aims to develop better models for chemical processes at surfaces between water and metals/metal oxides driven by ionizing radiation. In the study of these phenomena I often need to test a model by formulating it mathematically and solving it numerically using a combination of own specially written software and standard numerical libraries.

In order the get information on how fast a proposed chemical process is I turn to quantum chemistry. By doing ab initio modelling of small molecular models you can get energetics of a reaction accurate enough to predict kinetic parameters.

The software that I write are publicly available on github. The reason for why I publish my work there is twofold:

  • It facilitates reproducibile research
  • Other scientists are may use and improve upon my software.
