Research interests
Ab initio study of the structural, electronic, optical and transport properties of nanostructures and interfaces for molecular electronics and photovoltaics applications.
The field of research includes:
* Hybrid organic/inorganic interfaces
* Polymers, (bio)molecules, and nanostructures
* Thermodinamic stability, dynamical evolution and optical properties of molecules and nanostructures in solution.
* Electronic and thermal transport in nanostructures and Wannier Functions - (WanT PROJECT )
