Research interests

Computational nanoscience, methods of electronic structure calculations of nanoparticles, nanostructures and solids. I am a professor in Computational Nanoscience (group page). We investigate electronic, optical, magnetic, chemical and catalytic properties of bare, supported, and ligand-protected metal nanoparticles, electrical conductivity of molecule-metal interfaces in nanostructures, properties of carbon nanotubes and graphene, and structural and chemical properties of metal nanoparticle / bionanoparticle (virus) hybrids. My CV is here, list of publications here and a list of invited talks here. My group is located at the JYU Nanoscience Center .

I started a symposium series "International Symposium on Monolayer-protected Clusters ISMPCXX" in 2008. The first ISMPC08 was held in September 2008 in Jyväskylä, the second edition ISMPC11 in June 2011 also in Jyväskylä, the third one ISMPC13 in July 2013 in Pingree Park, Colorado (organized by Chris Ackerson, Christine Aikens and Terry Bigioni), the fourth one ISMPC15 in July 2015 in Yamanaka village, Japan (organized by Tatsuya Tsukuda and Yuichi Negishi), the fifth one in July 2017 in Monte Verita, Switzerland (organized by Stefan Knoppe, Noelia Barrabes and Thomas Buergi) and the sixth one ISMPC19 in Xiamen, China, by Nanfeng Zheng in September 2019. ISMPC21 will be organized in PennState (by Ken Knappenberger, Chris Ackerson and Christine Aikens).

I am elected to serve as the Vice-Chair (2024) and Chair (2026) for GRC "Atomically precise nanochemistry".

I was an Academy Professor for the term 2016-2020 and a visiting professor in Xiamen University in China since 2017.

I was listed as one of the "Highly Cited Researchers" in 2018 by Clarivate Analytics
