Dr. Thomas Ederth

Biography

Thomas Ederth is an Associate Professor in the Division of Biophysics and Bioengineering at Linköping University, Sweden. He obtained his MSc in Applied Physics and Electrical Engineering from Linköping Institute of Technology. He later pursued doctoral studies at the Royal Institute of Technology (KTH) in Stockholm under the supervision of Professor Claesson, earning his doctorate in Physical Chemistry in 1999. Following his PhD, Ederth conducted Postdoctoral research at Oxford University, focusing on neutron scattering methods for characterizing foams and foam films. He joined the Molecular Physics group at Linköping University in 2002, where he was appointed head of the division in 2020. His teaching duties include responsibility for courses in Molecular Physics and Surface Interfaces. His research primarily revolves around surface chemistry and biological interactions, with a specific emphasis on marine biofouling and the development of fouling-resistant surfaces. Ederth employs vibrational spectroscopy and neutron reflectometry as key techniques in his investigations. He has published several notable articles in reputable journals, contributing significantly to the understanding of molecular interactions and surface properties. In addition to his academic role, he maintains an active profile in the scientific community through various research collaborations and initiatives.
