Research

My research interests are the calculation and prediction of properties of advanced materials and systems on the nanoscale. To this end I use a variety of computational methods, from electronic structure methods based on density functional theory to the density matrix renormalization group.

Research Interests

  • Wide Bandgap Semiconductors
  • Transport Phenomena in Conducting Polymers
  • Ferroelectric Properties of Perovskite Solid Solutions
  • Defects in Carbon Nanotubes
  • Thermodynamics of Metal Nanoclusters
  • Flair: Density Functional Theory Code
