Biography

Magnus Johnson is a professor at KTH Royal Institute of Technology, focusing on nanoscale studies of nanocellulose, plant cell walls, and atmospheric corrosion using Nano FTIR microscopy to provide chemical information with a spatial resolution of 20 nm. His research expertise encompasses nano FTIR microscopy, biomimetic cell membranes, polyelectrolyte multilayers, and atmospheric corrosion inhibition. Notably, he conducts in-situ studies on indoor atmospheric corrosion processes on both coated and uncoated metal surfaces using a multianalytical approach. His recent investigations involve examining self-assembled layers of alkyl thiols and phosphonic acids as corrosion inhibitors for copper surfaces. Additionally, he has developed model natural cell membranes using Langmuir and Langmuir-Blodgett films, employing vibrational sum frequency spectroscopy to explore their packing and interactions. Magnus has a comprehensive background in advance analytical techniques such as infrared reflection/absorption spectroscopy and quartz crystal microbalance.
