Properties of novel materials – Structural and Electronic properties of novel materials (e.g. chemically modified graphene, novel
metal-oxides
(In/Al)GaN and others).
Interaction of light with matter and electrons dynamics – Non-linear effects in molecules
and nano-structures, photo-voltaic cells, and electrons dynamics in systems.
Multi-scale modeling of materials and devices –
Developing theoretical methods to integrate first principles calculations with macroscopic and intermediate scale models.
Physical
phenomena at surfaces and interfaces – research of emerging phenomena of materials with different dimensionality or at interfaces.
I am especially interested in electric and magnetic properties at interfaces and in modeling of dynamical processes of atom adsorption
at surfaces.
Real-Space approach to DFT and time-dependent DFT - I participate in the international effort of the
PARSEC real-space
code, this includes development of new methods as well as practical approaches for fast calculations (e.g. parallel computing and
GPUs).
