Chemistry Education and Research

Karin Larsson is a Professor in Inorganic Chemistry at the Dept. of Chemistry-Ångström Laboratory, Uppsala University, Sweden, and a Guest Professor at the University of Science and Technology Liaoning, China. In addition, she is an Elected Member of IVA (Royal Swedish Academy of Engineering Sciences), division V (Mining and Materials; Vice-Chair). She is the Head of the Theoretical Materials Chemistry Group at the Div. of Inorganic Chemistry, Dept. of Chemistry-Ångström Laboratory. Her scientific focus is on interpretation, understanding and prediction of the following processes/properties for both solid/gas interfaces, as well as for solid/liquid interfaces; i) CVD growth (e.g. diamond, BN, and graphene), iii) interfacial processes for renewable energy applications (e.g. electrochemical processes), and iv) bio functionalization of surfaces (e.g. bone regeneration).
