Research Interest
My research interests across my career have centered on the electron properties of materials using experimental and computational methods. Over the past 12 years or so I have developed expertise in quantum chemical calculations to understand the properties of materials, in particular the application of density functional theory for understanding and predicting the properties of nanostructures, such as surface processes and optical properties. These are challenging problems that require very large scale calculations.
