Biography
Kasper Moth-Poulsen studied organic chemistry at the University of Copenhagen, Denmark, where he obtained the Cand. Scient. (2003) and PhD (2007) degrees under the supervision of Prof. Thomas Bjørnholm. In 2009, he continued his career abroad as a post-doctoral scholar at U.C. Berkeley, with Professors Rachel Segalman and Peter Vollhardt.
In 2011 KMP joined Chalmers University of Technology, Gothenburg, Sweden, as an Assistant Professor. In 2014 he was promoted to Associate Professor in 2017 to Professor and in 2019 Full Professor in nanomaterials chemistry. In 2021 he joined the Institute of Materials Science of Barcelona, ICMAB-CSIC and in 2023 the Polytechnic University of Catalunya (UPC) as an ICREA research professor. He is currently affiliated with UCP, Chalmers and ICMAB-CSIC.
He has received several prestigious grants and awards, including the Arnbergska Prize and the Göran Gustafson Award from the Royal Swedish Academy of Science, Norblad-Ekstrand Medal from the Swedish Chemical Society as well as Starting and Consolidator grants from the European Research Council (ERC).
Kasper's research is focusing on organic materials for energy storage, synthesis of nanoparticles and self-assembly. He is a fellow of the ÀË»¨Ö±²¥ and an elected fellow of the Royal Swedish Academy of Engineering Sciences.
