Research

Computational and theoretical condensed matter physics. Complex solids and liquids, using first-principles molecular dynamics based on density functional theory and on linear-scaling DFT. Oxide heterostructures including multiferroics, liquid water and water/solid interfaces, and non-adiabatic processes related to radiation damage of materials. (water in the figure). Background.

  • Postdoctoral: Funded through grants and fellowships like Marie Curie or national ones (e.g. Feodor Lynen for Germans). Contact me if interested.
  • Ph.D.: Projects are proposed each year. Funding can be obtained by different routes. Information can be found here. Here you find the whole departamental project list.
  • M.Phil.: One-year research projects. Formal details can be found here.
