Biography

Martin Månsson is an associate professor in the Department of Applied Physics at KTH Royal Institute of Technology. His research expertise lies in experimental physics, particularly in materials physics with a focus on angle-resolved photoelectron spectroscopy (ARPES) investigations of correlated electron systems, such as high-temperature superconductors (HTSC). Martin has conducted extensive work in soft x-ray ARPES and laser-based time-resolved ARPES, collaborating closely with prominent institutions like the Paul Scherrer Institute in Switzerland and Toyota Central Research & Development Labs in Japan. He has contributed significantly to the understanding of energy-related materials, including rechargeable batteries and hydrogen storage fuel cells, resulting in numerous scientific publications. He spent several years as a neutron scientist at Eidgenössische Technische Hochschule (ETH) Zürich and École polytechnique fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL), focusing on quantum spin systems and inelastic neutron scattering. In recognition of his work, he has received prestigious grants, including the International Career Grant from the Marie Skłodowska Curie Actions under Horizon 2020. Martin also serves as the Director of Studies for the Swedish National Graduate School Neutron Scattering and is involved in strategic planning for neutron research within Sweden.
