Biography

Magnus Johnson is a Professor at the Royal Institute of Technology (KTH), specializing in surface corrosion science. His research focuses on nanoscale studies using advanced techniques such as Nano FTIR microscopy to explore the structural properties of nanocellulose, atmospheric corrosion processes, and biomimetic cell membranes. He employs a multi-analytical approach to investigate the distribution of components in plant cell walls and the effectiveness of corrosion inhibitors on metal surfaces. Recent studies delve into self-assembled layers and their applications in corrosion management, particularly in relation to indoor corrosive environments. His expertise extends to vibrational spectroscopy techniques and the study of complex materials at the nanoscale. Johnson is also actively involved in teaching various courses related to Chemistry and Material Engineering, shaping the next generation of engineers in these fields.
