My research interests are focussed on theoretical and computational materials physics, particularly on:
(i) nanomaterials for energy (hybrid organic/inorganic systems for photovoltaics; nano-crystyalline silicon; thermal transport at the nanoscale);
(ii) mechanical behavior of complex materials (nonlinear elasticity of nanostructured materials; elastic behavior of graphene-based nano-systems; thermo-visco-elasticity of model polymers of biological interest).
I am as well interested in developing and applying multiscale methods for materials modeling like, e.g., the hierarchic or concurrent combination of atomistic and continuum pictures, as well as the development of atomically-informed mesoscopic models.
