Mikael Fogelström

Mikael Fogelström serves as Director of Nordita (Nordic Institute for Theoretical Physics) and holds the position of Nordita Professor since January 2024. Nordita operates as a joint institute hosted by Stockholm University and KTH Royal Institute of Technology, with administrative headquarters at Stockholm University as confirmed by his institutional email address.

His academic foundation includes undergraduate and graduate physics studies at Åbo Akademi, culminating in a 1995 PhD under Prof. Juhani Kurkijärvi. His doctoral research centered on theoretical and numerical investigations of superfluid ³He, followed by postdoctoral appointments at Northwestern University and Karlsruhe University of Technology.

Professor Fogelström's research program focuses on condensed matter theory with specialized expertise in mesoscopic superconductivity and quantum transport phenomena within strongly correlated electron systems. He develops advanced numerical frameworks grounded in non-equilibrium many-body theory to model charge and energy transport in spatially inhomogeneous nanoscale systems. This work bridges fundamental theoretical physics with applications in quantum materials and nanoelectronics, spanning the interconnected domains of Condensed Matter Physics, Statistical Physics, and Biological Physics.

At Nordita, he is actively affiliated with the Condensed-Matter Physics and Statistical and Biological Physics research groups. Prior to his current leadership role, he maintained a faculty position at Chalmers University of Technology from 1995-2024, initially within the Department of Physics and subsequently in the Department of Microtechnology and Nanoscience (MC2) after 2003.
