Background

• Defended my PhD thesis entitled "Development of Organic-Based Thin Film Magnets for Spintronics" in May 2010.
• PhD candidate in the division of Surface Physics and Chemistry, November 2004 -September 2010. Defended my Licentiate thesis entitled “Preparation and Characterization of an Organic-Based Magnet” in December 2007.
• Research engineer in the group Organic Physics at Linköping University, November 2003 until October 2004.
• M.Sc. in Electronics Design Engineering at Linköping University 2003.

Research

My research involves preparation and characterization of semi-conducting room-temperature organic-based magnets for spintronics applications. The electronic and magnetic properties of the materials are characterized by different surface science techniques, e.g. XPS, UPS, XAS and XMCD in our home-lab or at the synchrotron radiation laboratory MAX-lab in Lund.
