Full CV

• Department of Physics, Materials Physics Division, University of Helsinki, and
• Department of Applied Physics, Aalto University (ex. Helsinki University of Technology) .

Top of the page

My present scientific interests include:

• Electronic structure calculations;
• Atomistic simulations of various bulk and nanosystems at empirical potential, tight-binding and density-functional theory levels;
• Interaction of energetic particles with nanosystems;
• Growth of graphene and related materials;
• Defects in carbon nanomaterials; effects of the irradiation on the mechanical and electronic properties of carbon nanomaterials;
• Inorganic two-dimensional materials;
• Magnetism in carbon systems doped with non-magnetic impurities such as nitrogen and hydrogen;
• Theory of scanning tunneling microscope (STM); simulation of STM images of surfaces with various atomic-scale defects.

My previous scientific interests:

• Classical and quantum computing in solid-state systems;
• Electronic transport in nanosystems (quantum cascade lasers, resonant-tunneling structures);
• Mechanisms of superconductivity in high-temperature superconductors, the effects of defects and nonmagnetic impurities on superconductivity in high-temperature superconductors;
• Physics of atomic and semiconductor clusters;
