Molecular Simulations in nanostructured materials

Research interests

• My research interests focus on the study and the design of multifunctional nanostructured materials and complex molecules. Using molecular simulations we provide sound basis for the development of new multifunctional materials. We are interested on processes that combined with some kind of control at the molecular level will have far reaching implications, both in basic science and in technological applications.
