Torbjörn Jonsson

Torbjörn Jonsson is a Senior Researcher at Chalmers University of Technology's Department of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering, affiliated with the Energy and Materials division. His research focuses on high-temperature corrosion mechanisms, combining controlled environmental exposure experiments with advanced electron microscopy techniques. Key applications include mitigating material degradation in biomass combustion systems, which pose more corrosive challenges than coal/oil-based systems.

Research interests emphasize corrosion prevention strategies for energy systems, with a focus on biomass-derived corrosive environments. Methodologically, his work integrates fundamental studies of model systems with practical industrial applications.

He currently co-supervises two PhD students but no specific grants or awards are listed. His division within inorganic environmental chemistry addresses interdisciplinary challenges at the intersection of materials science and energy technology.
