Om
Nåværende Arbeid
Mitt nåværende arbeid innebærer å bruke kvantemekaniske simuleringsmetoder, som Density Functional Theory (DFT), ab initio molecular dynamics (MD) og selvkonsistent quasi-particle-GW-teori for å karakterisere og forutsi funksjonelle materialer.
Mitt hovedfokus er å belyse de ferroelektriske egenskapene til tetragonal tungsten bronzes innenfor HT2B-prosjektet innenfor FACET-gruppen ved Institutt for Materialteknologi. Andre prosjekter i gruppen inkluderer forståelse av rollen til ionisk diffusjon i faste elektrolytter for batteriapplikasjoner, samt oppdagelsen av nye materialer.
I tillegg til dette spenner mine interesser over en rekke funksjonelle materialer, inkludert transparent conductors, termoelektrikk, fotovoltaikk og fotokatalyse for vannsplitting og karbondioksidreduksjon.

Arbeidet mitt har sentrert seg rundt bulkelektronikken og defektegenskapene i halvledere for en rekke bruksområder, inkludert: n- og p-type transparent conductors, fotokatalyse, fotovoltaikk og termoelektrikk. Arbeidet mitt har involvert bruk av beregningssimuleringer for å fremme forståelsen av at rollen til defekter og dopstoffer spiller med hensyn til den elektroniske strukturen, samt å bruke prediktive verktøy for å finne neste generasjon funksjonelle materialer.
