Mikael Kuisma

Research

Mikael’s research during his time in our research group included method development for time dependent density functional theory (TD-DFT) calculations and the van-der-Waals density functional (vdW-DF) method

but also applications, e.g., in the area of molecular solar thermal storage (MOST) systems and plasmonic nanoparticles.

In 2016 Mikael moved to the University of Jyväskylä on a post-doctoral fellowship from the Finnish Academy of Science.
