Research Interests
The focus of my research are electronic structure calculations. In particular I am interested in modeling soft x-ray spectroscopies of organic molecular materials, which are hot candidates for novel and environmental friendly technologies. My calculations are performed by means of Density Functional Theory, and I explore several methods for the computation of the spectra. I work in close collaboration with experimental groups both from Sweden and from other countries.
