Jon Otto Fossum

Jon Otto Fossum is a Professor in the Department of Physics at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU), Faculty of Natural Sciences. His research focuses on soft and complex condensed matter physics, particularly experimental studies of clay minerals and nanomaterials.

• Position: Professor
• Institution: NTNU
• Department: Physics

Research Interests: Fossum investigates the physical properties of clay-based nanomaterials, including CO2 capture, intercalation processes, and self-assembly of colloidal particles. His work spans fundamental physics of nanoscale systems to applied technologies like electromagnetic shielding and drug delivery systems.

Publication Trends: His recent articles highlight experiments with synthetic clays, graphene suspensions, and machine learning applications. Topics include CO2 interactions in nanolayered materials, structural coloration, and electromagnetic interference shielding using nanocomposites.

Teaching & Supervision: He has advised multiple doctoral dissertations and master's theses, including projects on Pickering emulsions, electric field-induced structuring, and clay-stabilized emulsions.

Laboratory: Leads the Soft and Complex Matter Lab, focusing on nanomaterials and their environmental/technological applications.
