Computational Materials and Photonics
The Computational Materials and Photonics Section conducts theoretical investigations and the computational modeling of novel materials, their physical properties, and devices from the molecular level to the nanoscale.
Based on quantum and classical theory, we investigate materials and nanostructures’ photonic, plasmonic, electronic, and mechanical properties. The current applications include optoelectronic and optomechanical sensing, photovoltaics, thermoelectrics, and catalysis.

Welcome to the team, MSc. Lucila Fernanda Toledo Gallegos!
On May 1, 2025, MSc. Lucila Fernanda Toledo Gallegos joined the CMP team in Kassel as a research assistant (PhD Candidate).
Fernanda Toledo holds a master's degree in Physics from Universität Leipzig and has a background in data science and research in applied quantum systems and molecular dynamics. Her work includes developing multi-classification models, data processing for image and spectroscopy dddanalysis, and simulations using quantum and classical methods. Her interests focus on computational modeling of physical systems, optimization of data analysis techniques, and using programming tools to support experimental and theoretical research.
Fernanda Toledo will work on the ZFF Pilot project “Development of sustainable austenitic stainless steels for future hydrogen infrastructure” .
A warm welcome to Fernanda Toledo!
