معرفی
Marcus Ekholm is an Associate Professor in the Department of Physics, Chemistry and Biology (IFM) at Linköping University, affiliated with the Faculty of Science and Engineering. His research lies at the intersection of theoretical physics and computational materials science, focusing on the electronic and structural properties of advanced materials under extreme conditions.
His research interests include theoretical modeling of materials, high-pressure phenomena, MAX phases, 2D magnetic materials, and nanoscale structures. He employs first-principles calculations based on density functional theory (DFT) to predict and explain material behavior. His work often involves collaborations with experimentalists and international research teams.
The recent publications reflect a strong trend in computational discovery of novel materials, especially under high pressure, and the investigation of electronic correlations and magnetic interactions in layered and nanoscale systems. His studies span inorganic chemistry, solid-state physics, and advanced ceramics, with applications in energy and functional materials.
Marcus Ekholm has served as an assistant supervisor to postdoctoral researchers such as Davide Gambino, contributing to the training of early-career scientists. While specific grants are not listed, his participation in high-profile collaborative projects (e.g., with SeRC) suggests involvement in major research initiatives.
He is associated with research groups including
- Theory and Modelling
- Materials Design and Informatics (TEMDI)
- Theoretical Physics (TEOFY)
