Light-matter interactions – Ågren group

We are a group engaged in theory development and computational applications of light-matter interaction covering a wide part of the electromagnetic spectrum, from gamma-rays, where we optimize properties of positron emission tracers for early diagnosis of neurodegenerative diseases, over to spectroscopy in the X-ray range, to electromagnetic properties of 2D and plasmonic materials in the optical and UV regions, all the way down to the infrared (IR, Raman) and the radiofrequency regions (EPR, NMR).

We are currently working on five main topics:

1. Resonant Inelastic X-ray Scattering
2. 2D photodetector materials
3. Biomarkers for neurodegenerative diseases
4. Ultrafine nanoparticle plasmonics
5. Light upconversion technology for energy harvesting applications.

Our research concerns theory, method development, computational science and problem oriented applications in collaboration with experimentalists.
