General description
I am currently the vice head (education) of the department of physics and an active teaching developer. My research activities range from computational modeling of nanomaterials ro physics education research.
Active JYU affiliations
- Department of Physics, Professor
Research interests
I do research on two separate fields: i) novel university-level physics teaching and assessment practices and ii) low-dimensional nanomaterials, especially carbon nanomaterials, for their structural, mechanical, vibrational, electronic, and electromechanical properties using computational methods ranging from continuum to first-principles electronic structure methods.
