Hi everyone!

So, Johan Nyström is the name. PhD student in Complex Systems at Chalmers University of Technology, Sweden. Like sports, poker, partying, cooking, reading, traveling, and I'm really looking forward to seeing you all in Santa Fe. I'm positive we'll have a great time there.

Main topic of research: Theoretical foundation of meso-scale simulation techniques for chemical systems.

By meso-scale we refer to the scale above the atomic/molecular level, but below the macroscopic level. There are several ways (some more ad hoc than other) to describe systems on the mesoscopic level. My work is centered around coarse-graining techniques, i.e. methods of deriving mesoscopic system descriptions starting from the molecular scale, in a consistent way.

First time in the US, so it will be very exciting. I'm also planning to see New York prior to the summer school, and travel around California afterwards.
