Biography

Oscar Tjernberg is a professor at KTH Royal Institute of Technology, leading a research group focused on understanding and manipulating quantum materials. His research primarily centers around quantum materials which exhibit quantum effects that play a dominating role at the visible macroscopic level. Examples of these materials include magnetism, superconductivity, heavy electron systems, and topological materials. His work positions quantum materials at the forefront of modern condensed matter research, presenting challenges for basic research while holding promises for new future technologies. A key tool in his research is the BALTAZAR laboratory, specializing in ultra-fast high-resolution angle-resolved photoelectron spectroscopy (tr-ARPES). His research group actively collaborates with facilities such as synchrotron light sources and free electron lasers to advance their studies in this dynamic field.
