This presentation at the Skoltech Center for Energy Science and Technology is an up-to-date summary of our research into atoms under compression. The 45 minute presentation can be found here.

A nice pop-sci article summarizing our work on atomic properties can be found here.

Our work dressing the connection between atomic energy, radius and electronegativity is highlighted in a Chalmers press release.

A warm welcome to this year’s Bachelor group, who have begun working on computational astrobiology.

Dr. Alvaro Lobato Fernandez have joined the group from University of Oviedo. He will help us expand upon our methods for analyzing chemical bonding, and use them to predict how chemistry can change under extreme conditions of pressure. Welcome Alvaro!

Two physics graduates have joined the group! Felix Heijnen joins us from KU Leuven in Belgium to pursue an Erasmus mundus MSc degree, and Oskar Leinonen joins us from Chalmers Department of Physics to pursue his MSc thesis. Both  Felix and Oskar will be working on quantum chemical calculations on quantum computers. Welcome!

Oskar Leinonen and Felix Heijnen

Our recent work in computational astrobiology has earned a press release from Chalmers!
