Psi-k Volker Heine Young Investigator Award 2018
The Psi-k Board of Trustees has selected me as a finalist for their well-respected Volker Heiner Young Investigator Award. The award recognizes an individual for outstanding computational work in any type of condensed matter, materials or nanoscience research involving electronic…
Young Investigator Award
The Sanibel Symposium is organized yearly by the University of Florida’s Quantum Theory Project and is well known as the “Theory Meeting for Theoreticians”. I’m very happy that they recognized my contributions to the field and honored me with the…
Visitor at the MPIP
Just came back from the Max Planck Institute for Polymer Research in Mainz, Germany. Thanks to Kurt Kremer and Tristan Bereau for inviting me.I learned that polymers have much more facets than simple plastic (PE) bags and coarse-grained modelling can…Read more ›here
NanoSolveIT kick-off
Great spot to kick-off our NanoSolveIT H2020 Nanoinformatics project. In the upcoming 48 month, we will introduce a in silico Integrated Approach to Testing and Assessment (IATA) of the environmental health and safety of Nanomaterials (NM) that will be implemented…Read more ›here
MARVEL Mini-Series
We just kicked off the Marvel Mini-series on DFT, wavefunction methods, machine learning, and metals. I showed how quantum Monte-Carlo methods as well as modern density functional approximations both have their place in the design of molecular materials. Along the…Read more ›here
Psi-k Highlight of the Week
Our article “Simplified DFT methods for consistent structures and energies of large systems” has appeared as Psi-k Scientific Highlight of the month. While many-body electronic structure methods become affordable for single-point energies, we see DFT as an irreplaceable tool for…Read more ›here
Graphene: Is it hydrophobic or hydrophilic?
Our joint London-Vienna collaboration employs some of the world’s largest supercomputer to nail down the water-graphene interaction indicating a mild hydrophilicity. Our results have significant impact for the physical understanding, as they indicate that the interaction is weaker than predicted…Read more ›here
