General description

Active JYU affiliations

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.
