  • Density Functional Theory
  • Xray and Neutron Spectroscopies, Multiplet Theory
  • Mixed Valency Compounds, Anderson Impurity Model
  • Semiconductor Devices, Drift-Diffusion Modelling
My interests are in using theory and computation to better understand phenomena in a broad range of applications ranging from physics, chemistry and engineering: properties of unusual solids; surfaces and chemisorption; molecular properties; X-ray spectroscopies. Development of computer codes for density functional theory DMol3; Shockley semiconductor device simulations; crystal field atomic multiplets for X-ray spectroscopy; core and valence spectroscopy of correlated eletronic states in mixed valence compounds.
