Jon Andreas Støvneng

Jon Andreas Støvneng is an Associate Professor in the Department of Physics at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU). His research spans multiple areas of physics and materials science, with a particular focus on computational approaches to understanding surface phenomena and materials properties.

Støvneng's research interests primarily focus on surface science, materials science, and computational chemistry. His work frequently employs density functional theory (DFT) calculations to investigate adsorption processes, surface reactions, and material properties. He has also made significant contributions to physics education, particularly in improving laboratory instruction and student feedback mechanisms. His research has applications in catalysis, corrosion science, nanotechnology, and environmental engineering.

His publication record shows consistent output spanning over two decades, with recent work focusing on cruise ship emissions, rare earth alloys, chromium oxide surfaces, and physics education methodology. His collaborative approach is evident in numerous co-authored publications across different institutions and disciplines.

Notable research contributions include:

• Comprehensive studies on adsorption processes on chromium oxide surfaces
• Investigations of rare earth alloys and their catalytic properties
• Research on shape memory alloys and their surface interactions
• Development of educational resources including a physics textbook

Støvneng has supervised numerous master's students, including Herman Skogseth, Cecilia H Gabrielii, and Andreas Sørbrøden Talberg, indicating his active role in mentoring the next generation of physicists and engineers. His teaching portfolio spans quantum mechanics, classical mechanics, thermal physics, and specialized courses in nanotechnology and bio-physics.

His work bridges theoretical and applied physics, connecting fundamental surface science with practical applications in environmental technology, materials engineering, and educational methodology.
