Senior🎓
Top SchoolChristian Forssén is a professor and Head of Division for Subatomic, High-Energy and Plasma Physics at Chalmers University of Technology, bringing over a decade of academic leadership and deep expertise in theoretical nuclear and particle physics. He combines rigorous theoretical work in low-energy QCD with advanced computational methods—high-performance computing, Bayesian statistics and machine learning—to tackle foundational problems and produce cross-disciplinary publications in venues like Nature Physics and PRL. A prolific mentor and educator, he has supervised over 100 bachelor and master projects and routinely teaches both core physics and applied data-analysis courses. His career includes international research stints at Lawrence Livermore, Oak Ridge, and the University of Tennessee, reflecting a rare mix of national-laboratory experience and university leadership. Less obvious is his track record of bridging applied mathematics and ML with nuclear theory, enabling novel computational approaches that inform both basic science and methodological development.
