Researches
Research Area
• Physical Chemistry (Quantum mechanics and Molecular Spectroscopy)
• Computational Chemistry (ab-initio methods, Monte Carlo and Molecular Dynamics simulations)
Current Research
My current research includes the investigation of optoelectronic properties of small non-fullerene organic molecules for light-harvesting, photovoltaic and nonlinear optical applications. I also apply computational methods (Density Functional Theory, Monte Carlo and Molecular Dynamics simulations) to explore and rationalize materials’ (anti-corrosion and adsorption) properties and pharmaceutical potentials of organic systems.
