Research Interest
My research at ICMAB is mainly devoted to heat transport simulation. I have developed an efficient computational software for atomistic quantum phonon transport based on nonequilibrium Green's functions that can be applied to study lattice thermal transport problems in multiple crystalline materials. I combine this type of simulations with classical molecular dynamics on different heterostructured materials, ranging from ferroelectric domain walls to semiconductor nanowires or molecular systems, to devise heat transport functionalities such as thermal switchers, filters or rectifiers with potential applications in the field of phononics.
