Om mig

I am a PhD student in the Structural Dynamics of Aqueous Solutions group at Fysikum, Stockholm University, under the supervision of Prof. Foivos Perakis. My research focuses on the structure and thermodynamics of aqueous solutions under supercooled conditions. A central aim of my work is to develop experimental methods that can probe the hypothesized second critical point of water, and combine them with computational studies to gain a deeper understanding of the underlying physics.

The primary technique I employ is x-ray scattering at free-electron lasers and synchrotrons. This technique allows me to gain a multimodal understanding of both the local and nanoscale structure of my samples. On the computational side, I complement scattering measurements with molecular dynamics simulations to provide molecular-level interpretations of the experimental results.

Before my PhD, my previous work focused on nonlinear bosonic systems, where I applied machine learning methods to identify resonant conditions in one-dimensional chains. This experience laid a solid foundation in computational modeling and data analysis, which continues to guide my current research. My broader scientific interests include critical and supercritical phenomena and phase transitions, the development of experimental setups for probing supercooled liquids with x-ray scattering, together with computational methods.
