His research focuses on the synthesis, characterization, and application of nanomaterials, particularly nanowires, nanoparticles, and heterojunctions. Using high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) and in-situ techniques, he investigates structural and electronic properties at the atomic scale. His work spans semiconductor nanotechnology, catalysis, and energy materials.
The recent publications highlight a strong trend in nanomaterials engineering and advanced electron microscopy. Topics include ballistic nanowire transistors, bimetallic nanoparticle synthesis, oxide nanoparticle analysis, and catalytic biomass conversion. These reflect interdisciplinary work at the intersection of materials science, chemistry, and nanoelectronics.
He leads significant research projects including:
- ARTEMI: Atomic Resolution Transmission Electron Microscopy Infrastructure of Sweden (2022–2027)
- Chemical analysis in-situ during growth and superfluorescence (Swedish Research Council, 2020–2024)
- NFFA-Europe: Nanoscience Foundries and Fine Analysis - Europe (Horizon 2020, 2015–2019)
He manages major research infrastructure:
- Cryogenic TEM with tomography (JEM-2200FS)
- National Center for High Resolution Electron Microscopy - ARTEMI
