Ove Andersson

Ove Andersson is an Associate Professor in the Department of Physics at Umeå universitet. His research focuses on material science under extreme conditions, particularly thermal conductivity of solids, clathrate hydrates, and phase transitions under high pressure. He leads the research group 'New materials under extreme conditions' and has contributed to projects investigating novel phases via high-pressure techniques.

Key research themes include thermal conductivity measurements in amorphous ices, clathrate hydrates, and polymer composites. His work also explores structural transformations in materials like titanium dioxide and cellulose nanocrystals. Andersson has developed high-pressure experimental setups, such as multianvil cells for hydrothermal synthesis.

His publications demonstrate expertise in neutron scattering, dielectric spectroscopy, and synchrotron X-ray analysis. Over 60 peer-reviewed articles highlight contributions to understanding pressure-induced amorphization, glass transitions, and material stability. Current projects involve investigating polyamorphic states of hydrates and high-pressure polymerization mechanisms.
