Research Interests

Theoretical condensed matter physics, mainly electronic structure, of complex semiconductor systems and organic compounds of biological or technological interest. At present, my efforts are directed to understand how, in the nanoscopic domain, organic compounds (molecules or polymers) and inorganic semiconductors or metals can be combined to yield useful nanodevices.
