The Graphene Flagship, hosted by the Department of Physics, welcomes Maria Abrahamsson as the new Director from 1 March 2025.
Maria Abrahamsson is a full professor of physical chemistry at the department of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering at Chalmers. She works with the Chalmers Graphene Centre, served on the steering board of the Swedish 2D-Tech Centre of Excellence and was formerly the Director for Chalmers’ interdepartmental Materials Science Area of Advance.
She replaces Patrik Johansson as he has now taken a new position as professor at Uppsala University and Director for the European Commission’s Battery 2030+ initiative. Patrik Johansson served as Graphene Flagship Director since October 2023 and as Vice-Director for three years before that and has worked at Chalmers for over 25 years.
“We are very happy to welcome Maria aboard as the new Director of the Graphene Flagship!” says Paul Erhart, Acting Head of the Department of Physics.
“We wish Patrik all the best with the new position at Uppsala University and he is always welcome back to friends and colleagues at Chalmers.”
