Jörgen Larsson

Jörgen Larsson serves as Professor of Physics at Lund University's Faculty of Engineering, holding multiple leadership roles including Atomic Physics Coordinator, Assistant Director at LINXS (Institute of Advanced Neutron and X-ray Science), and Profile Area Member for both LTH's Photon Science and Technology and LU's Light and Materials initiatives. He also works as a Researcher in the Science Division at MAX IV Laboratory, Sweden's synchrotron radiation facility.

His research spans Ultrafast X-ray Science, Condensed Matter Physics, and Phase-Change Materials, with focus on laser-matter interactions, structural dynamics, and nanoscale phenomena. Key methodologies include ultrafast X-ray diffraction, femtosecond pump-probe experiments, and advanced beamline instrumentation. His work contributes to UN Sustainable Development Goals through materials innovation and energy-efficient technologies.

Analysis of his recent publications reveals dominant trends in ultrafast structural dynamics using X-ray techniques, with significant emphasis on phase transitions in materials, laser-induced phenomena, and nanoscale heat transport. His FemtoMAX beamline work enables high-resolution studies of atomic-scale processes occurring in femtosecond to picosecond timescales.

Larsson actively supervises research (10 supervised works documented) and leads two major projects: Ultrafast switching of structural phase in phase-change memory materials (Swedish Research Council, 2024-2028) and Can GST phase-change material become an ultrafast storage medium? (Olle Engkvist Foundation, 2025-2029). He manages the FemtoMAX beamline infrastructure at MAX IV Laboratory, a critical facility for structural dynamics research.

His research network shows extensive international collaborations across 6 similar profiles specializing in pulse physics, X-ray diffraction, and laser material science, with significant activity in Europe and North America. The work has garnered attention from news outlets, social media, and academic platforms including Mendeley and Wikipedia.
