Biography

Prof. Johanna Rosén is a Full Professor at Linköping University since 2016, where she serves as the Head of the Materials Design division, leading a research group of 30 researchers focused on designing novel materials for sustainable applications. She earned her PhD from RWTH Aachen University in Germany in 2004 and has pursued postdoctoral research, including visiting scientist positions at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory in the USA and the University of Sydney in Australia. In 2007, she returned to Sweden to join Linköping University as a tenure-track Assistant Professor. Prof. Rosén established a state-of-the-art laboratory that integrates predictive theoretical modeling with advanced materials synthesis and characterization. Her research focuses on application-driven fundamental studies of novel inorganic materials, including carbides (MAX phases, MXenes) and borides (MAB phases, MBenes), alongside various metallic ceramic compounds. She combines predictive theoretical modeling with particle, powder, and thin film synthesis, systematically analyzing structural and compositional properties. Her research explores potential applications in energy storage, energy conversion (catalysis), water purification, and electromagnetic shielding. Prof. Rosén's contributions are published in esteemed journals such as Science, Nature Synthesis, Nature Materials, Nature Communications, and Advanced Materials.
