Research interests and group

My main research interest is studying far-from equilibrium effects in materials using computational and experimental methods. This involves chiefly simulation of ion irradiation effects in semiconductors and metals, but also increasingly modelling of X-ray diffraction from defects and quantum dots, and studies of nanocluster behaviour.

The Accelerator laboratory ion beam research group consists of about 15 scientists lead by Prof. Juhani Keinonen. The computational team within the group consists of myself, one postdoc, and about five students.

Should you want to know more of what I have been doing, you can choose between:
