Biography

Johan Klarbring is an Assistant Professor at Linköping University specializing in theoretical material science with a focus on the development and application of first-principles and ab initio computational methods. His research investigates the behavior of complex materials, utilizing quantum mechanical descriptions of electronic structures. Klarbring employs large-scale parallelized computations on supercomputers to explore the properties of materials, specifically in the field of energy materials, including applications in solid oxide fuel cells, batteries, solar cells, and thermoelectric devices. His primary research interest lies in combining ab-initio quantum mechanical methods with statistical physics to examine phase stabilities and electronic properties of highly anharmonic and dynamically disordered solid materials, as well as the study of thermal and ionic transport in solid materials.
