Welcome!

We employ density functional theory and Green's function methods in order to predict and understand a wide range of material properties. In particular, we are interested in the dynamics of electronic and optical excitations and spectral properties.

Current research topics

  • Energy materials for photoelectrolysis, photovoltaics and batteries
  • Photonic materials for linear and nonlinear optics
  • Solid-state qubit systems
