Senior Lecturer in Theoretical Nanophysics, Ph.D., Docent

Riku Tuovinen

My research focuses on theoretical and computational nanophysics. With many-body quantum theory, I study the dynamics of electrons and bosons at small length and short time scales. The goal is to understand the microscopic nature of correlated quantum systems, potentially utilized in next-generation nano- and quantum technologies.
