Dr. rer. nat., Staff Researcher
This page is supposed to be a collection of projects that I am working on or am/have been contributing to. It's still work in progress. I invite you to visit later again to find new entries.

A new Surface Area and Porosity Laboratory - ongoing


I designed a new laboratory from ground up for the measurement of the physi- and chemisorption of gases. Construction of the lab is complete and regular user operation starts September 2025. Development of the lab's capabilities continues.


A flow reactor with capillary probe mass spectrometer


This was my first project when I started at Chalmers in 2017. Per-Anders Carlsson had funding and plans to build the reactor and I got to do it. It is based on an existing concept which I describe on the project's page (soon).


Rare earth oxide films as model systems


This started as the project of my doctoral thesis (2006-2010) and continued as a followup project of my supervisor and in several groups. Here I try to summarize my contribution to the topic soon. Will certainly take me some more time to complete.


TiO2 surfaces


A collection of projects that I contributed to while working with Prof. A. Sandell in Uppsala and work we continued later on. We studied single crystal surfaces of TiO2 and thin films grown by CVD towards their interaction with H2O and trimethyl acetate.


Nanoporous Gold


I did a contribution to the study of np-Au during my later time as doctoral student and during my postdocs in Uppsala and Bremen. My studies mainly focused on detailed XPS characterization and deposition of oxide materials in the structure.
