Tobias Ambjörnsson

Research Interests

I have a broad expertise within the fields of theoretical biological physics, equilibrium and non-equilibrium statistical physics, mathematical physics and nanophysics. I worked with several experimental partners from the fields of physics, chemistry and nanoscience, where my group did modeling, image analysis, statistics and software development.
