Mikael Kuisma

Research

Mikael’s research during his stay 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.
