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
