Antti Karttunen

Professor (Associate Professor)

Department of Chemistry and Materials Science

I study inorganic materials that can be used for improving energy efficiency. My research group uses quantum chemical methods to investigate the atomic-level structures and properties of inorganic materials.

Current research areas:

Pyroelectric and thermoelectric materials for improving energy efficiency.
New functional materials based on main group elements.
Virtual and extended reality in chemical education.
