Clas Persson is an Associate Professor at the Royal Institute of Technology (Kungliga Tekniska Högskolan) focusing on materials applications technologies. His research encompasses the fields of metal casting, solar-energy conversion, quantum technologies, layered material structures, and low-dimensional systems. He investigates mesoscale particle agglomeration, ice/water interfaces, sensors, and power batteries. His work aims to model, calculate, and analyze various materials and their structures to achieve a fundamental understanding of material physics, thereby supporting the work of experimentalists. His methodology includes ab initio studies of cross-interface interactions and adhesion of mesoscopic particles at high temperatures, along with an analysis of dispersion forces. He employs the Kohn-Sham method and density-functional theory to describe materials, studying their electronic, optical, and magnetic properties. His research is directed toward tailoring materials with desired characteristics for industrial applications, utilizing Green's functions to model the effects of regular density functionals and analyze interactions with a focus on kinetics and thermodynamics.
