Biography

Clas Persson is an Associate Professor at KTH Royal Institute of Technology, specializing in the applications of materials technologies such as metal casting and solar-energy conversion. His research focuses on quantum technologies, layered material structures, and low-dimensional systems. Persson has conducted extensive studies on mesoscale particle agglomeration, ice/water interfaces, sensors, and power batteries. He aims to model, calculate, and analyze materials and their structures to understand the fundamental physics of materials, thus supporting experimental work and exploring new types of material structures and intriguing phenomena. His scientific approaches employ methods like the Kohn-Sham density-functional theory and incorporate Green's functions to understand the electronic, optical, and magnetic properties of materials, as well as their stability and dielectric responses. Persson's methodologies are applicable across a broad temperature range and in both macro and mesoscopic liquid-solid systems. His work drives innovation in material processing techniques and contributes significantly to tailoring materials for specific industrial applications.
