Biography

Tomas Löfwander is a Professor at the Chalmers University of Technology in Sweden, specializing in Applied Quantum Physics and Microtechnology Nanoscience. He heads the Division of Applied Quantum Physics and Microtechnology Nanoscience. Löfwander earned a master's degree in engineering physics in 1996, followed by a PhD in theoretical physics in 2001, both from Chalmers. He has extensive research experience, having worked as a post-doctoral researcher at Northwestern University in the USA and at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology in Germany. Since returning to Chalmers in 2006, his research has primarily focused on Condensed Matter Physics, particularly emphasizing unconventional superconductivity and electronic quantum transport at the nanoscale. His noteworthy publications include investigations into Josephson junctions, high-temperature superconductors, and the quantum Hall effect in graphene, among other topics. Recently, Löfwander contributed to the development of an open source code package called SuperConga, which addresses equations in the quasiclassical theory of superconductivity across various materials.
