Our main research interests relate to understanding atomic processes in astrophysical plasmas, and especially in stellar atmospheres. This knowledge helps us to more accurately describe the light from stars and other cosmic objects. This in turn helps answer questions fundamental to astrophysics concerning the structure and evolution of planets, stars, the Galaxy, and even the entire universe.
We primarily develop theory and perform numerical calculations, often making use of high performance computing facilities both in Sweden (NAISS) and abroad. We also do laboratory experiments (in collaboration with the Atomic Physics Division at Stockholm University, using the DESIREE facility), as well as high resolution stellar spectroscopy (primarily with ESO facilities).
Our external funding comes from a variety of sources, including the Swedish Research Council, the Knut and Alice Wallenberg foundation, and the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences.
