Ville Jansson

Ville Jansson is a researcher affiliated with the University of Helsinki, specializing in computational materials science and simulation techniques. He serves as a doctoral programme supervisor in the Doctoral Programme in Materials Research and Nanosciences and teaches Monte Carlo Simulations in Physics (5cr), a course offered every second year.

Education

• Doctor of Philosophy in Theoretical Physics (University of Helsinki, 2014)
• Master of Science in Theoretical Physics (University of Helsinki, 2008)

His research focuses on developing computational models for particle physics materials, nuclear materials, and fusion materials using Kinetic Monte Carlo (KMC) and Molecular Dynamics (MD) simulations. He is the primary developer of the open-source KMC code Kimocs, designed for simulating atomic-scale surface evolution.

The Kimocs repository includes collaborations with researchers like Ekaterina Baibuz and Flyura Djurabekova. Articles from 2015–2022 highlight applications in Cu/Fe surface diffusion, nanotip formation, and high electric field effects, integrating machine learning for improved simulation accuracy.

Recent research outputs involve collaborations with Jyri Kimari, Stefan Parviainen, and Andreas Kyritsakis. He has presented findings at academic events (2018–2020) and contributed to projects such as the Materials- and Nanophysics Researcher Community (MATENA) in 2011.
