Prof. Thomas Wågberg
I am leading a group working on nanostructured carbon. We are focusing on investigating and exploiting the electronic, structural and chemical properties of single- and multi walled nanotubes and modified fullerene structures.
My research carrier started by PhD studies at Umeå University in 1996 with Professor Bertil Sundqvist (UmU), and Professor Per Jacobsso (Chalmers), as supervisors. My research focused on polymeric phases of C60, and we published some key work on high pressure polymerized C60, photo-polymerized and intercalated polymeric C60. During my PhD studies, I made some long term research visits at UC Berkeley (7 month) in the group of Alex Zettl, and at Universite Orsay (3 months) in the group of Professor Roger Moret, and Professor Pascale Launois. After my PhD (2002) I became a Wenner-Gren Fellow, which allowed me to do a several year post-doc at Universite Montpellier, in the group of Professor Patrick Bernier. Under the supervision of Dr. Christophe Goze-Bac I learned how to apply nuclear magnetic resonance as technique for studying carbon material properties. After my post doc period, I could as Wenner-Gren fellow, by Young researcher awards and with support from Swedish research council, Ångpanneföreningen, and Kempestiftelsen, and Wallenbergstiftelsen build a research group which continues to do research on carbon nanomaterials but with a wider focus to involve also other catalyst nanoparticles and biosensors. |
