The rapid advance in computers continues to open up new and exciting research possibilities in computational science. In the Jonsson group, theoretical methods are being developed and applied to computational studies of condensed matter to learn about the properties of liquids, crystals and amorphous solids in terms of the electronic wavefunctions and the atomic ordering and dynamics. Surfaces and interfaces have been a particular focus including the interaction of atoms and molecules with surfaces of solids. For more information, see http://www.hi.is/~hj/researchprojects.html
Interests
Theoretical physical chemistry: Development of methods for predicting the properties of chemicals and materials, in particular the mechanism and rate of transitions such as chemical reactions, diffusion, crystal growth, adsorption and desorption.
