Welcome,
on this site you find information about my ongoing work, publications, recent presentations, and the like.
During the first three years of my PhD studies I investigated the electronic structures and magneto-optical effects in d- and f-electron systems (Here you find the main body of my Licentiate thesis covering most of this research).
In October 2008 I switched to a new field of research, studying small coinage metal clusters on different supports and in the gas phase (PhD Thesis). The main focus of the Thesis lies on the catalytic characteristics of Au1-4/MgO and the interaction of coinage metals with graphene, also accounting for van-der-Waals interactions.
The main tools for these calculations are the Vienna ab-initio simulation package (VASP) and the Jülich Non-Local code (JuNoLo).
