Research Interests

  • Modelling of electronic structure and spectroscopy of two-dimensional atomically thin films beyond graphene, nanosystems, heterostructures, high-Tc superconductors, topological insulators, and other novel materials.
  • Theoretical methods include density functional theory, and techniques for going beyond the DFT framework to incorporate effects of strong electron correlations.
  • Keywords: DFT, KKR, Tight-binding, Many-Body Theory/Green's Function methods, QPGW, ARPES, STM, QPI, and Optical Spectra
