Research interests
  • Study of structural, mechanical, electrical, optical and electronic properties of materials from atomic to macroscopic scale, with theoretical and computational methodologies, for metallic, semiconductor, ceramic and organic materials, surfaces and interfaces of them, as well as their nanodimensional and nanostructured devices, with the aim of predicting new properties and the design of new materials with predefined properties, suitable for applications in all aspects of modern technology.
  • Study of light-matter interactions and arrangements of materials that interact strongly with light. Study of coupled optical, thermal and electrical properties and design of optoelectronic devices.
  • Development of computational techniques and software for scientific calculations.
  • Local and global optimization, software and applications.
  • Parallel techniques for large scale calculations.
