Thomas Olsen is an Associate Professor in the Department of Physics at the Technical University of Denmark (DTU). His research focuses on computational atomic-scale materials design, particularly in the areas of magnetism in 2D materials, spin spiral order, and multiferroic properties. He actively contributes to the development of the GPAW software package for electronic structure calculations. Olsen holds a Master in Physics from the University of Copenhagen (2001–2006) and a PhD from DTU. His work spans theoretical condensed matter physics, with expertise in density functional theory and its extensions. He has supervised multiple PhD students on topics like thermodynamics of 2D magnetism, itinerant magnetism, and hysteresis heating in nanoparticles. His research interests include predicting magnetic properties using first-principles methods, such as the magnetic force theorem and time-dependent density functional theory. Recent publications highlight advancements in calculating Curie temperatures, exploring electron-hole crystals in Mott insulators, and analyzing antiferromagnetism in 2D systems. Olsen collaborates extensively on projects involving van der Waals heterostructures, computational screening of materials, and the theoretical underpinnings of magnon dynamics.
