Research Interests

Research projects are available in the field of theoretical spectroscopy of crystalline solids, nanostructures, interfaces and 2D materials. Projects imply both the use of existing approaches and computational tools to predict spectroscopic properties of materials and the development of novel approaches and computational tools. Approaches and computational tools are based on density-functional theory and many-body perturbation theory (GW approximation, Bethe-Salpeter equation).
