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.
