I am a researcher at Chalmers University of Technology in Gothenburg, Sweden. My research is in heterogeneous catalysis using computer simulations.

[Mikkel Jørgensen @Mikkeljorg]

Main conclusion of my PhD: A systems theory aids in understanding catalysis on metal nanoparticles. Isolated sites are often insufficient. This is discussed in our new perspective:

Interesting, especially if this also applies to humans on a hypocaloric diet.

We re-analyzed 38 studies that questioned whether climate is changing and/or humans are responsible, and found an error in each that, when corrected, brought them in line with the scientific consensus. Our study's been downloaded >100k times now!

We now model reactions and diffusion in zeolites and combine them using a kinetic Monte Carlo simulation package. This can teach us about how transport and kinetics interact in real zeolite crystals over long time periods.

Hydrogen atoms diffuse very rapidly on metal surfaces, leading to very high adsorbate entropies! The attached image shows low-energy areas of H* on a Pt(111) surface in blue and high-energy areas in red. Read more in our recent @JPhysChem C paper: https://t.co/Y9vdZac7WB

“autonomy granted to PhD students...improves their long-term performance but decreases short-term performance. Because the latter effect costs supervisors...this creates an incentive conflict between supervisors and students”

We need a new reward system.

@CompCatJYU @J_A_C_S Thanks! I am happy to hear that.

[Mikkel Jørgensen @Mikkeljorg]

Very pleased to have the last paper of my PhD in @J_A_C_S. We model Pd/Cu single-atom alloy nanoparticles for acetylene hydrogenation. Nanoparticles yield complex reaction mechanisms, as compared to surfaces. We also suggest a catalyst design strategy. https://t.co/bkcwz7sbvr

Happy #EarthDay !
This is what’s needed to stay below 1,5°C of warming.

Note that this doesn’t include the aspect of equity, feedback loops or additional warming hidden by toxic air pollution.

Sorry to bother but it’s time to act.

@praktweets Thanks, Prakhar. Maybe we should have that coffee soon.

[Mikkel Jørgensen @Mikkeljorg]

Yay, I was awarded my PhD degree yesterday. It was a very memorable defense with an extremely interesting discussion! 🍾

[Mikkel Jørgensen @Mikkeljorg]

@mepgg Thanks a lot! And to you as well.

[Mikkel Jørgensen @Mikkeljorg]

@JakobSchiotz Thanks, Jakob ! 😊

Our new paper: To understand how strain affects reaction kinetics over nanoparticles, the particle should be modeled as a system of coupled sites.

After 5 years of research, we show that it is possible to isolate, position and electronically address single #molecules at surfaces using combined #topdown and #bottomup techniques. @ERC_Research #selfassembly @ChalmersKemi @behabtu https://t.co/2DJAcYNc7d

I almost forgot to tell you about part 2 of my writing productivity series. Here are six more tricks to write more in less time 😎 https://t.co/VvQ9Bd45Ka #AcWri #PhDchat #ECRchat #newPI #PostDoc #GetYourPaperOut

[Mikkel Jørgensen @Mikkeljorg]

Interested in how we do kinetic Monte Carlo simulations? Then have a look at our new publication about the MonteCoffee framework. https://t.co/zz1mZFsKok , I will also answer questions 🐍😀
