Welcome :)
Our research group covers a broad range of topics in theoretical condensed matter physics with a strong overlap with materials science. We employ computational approaches, such as first principles (ab initio) methodologies, effective Hamiltonians, and group theory analysis to study the fundamental aspects and potential applications of various quantum materials in the field of optoelectronics, optospintronics, and quantum information technology.
The group’s research interests include, but are not limited to:
- Optically-addressable many-body states (excitons, trions, …)
- Electric and magnetic control of excitonic complexes
- Excitonic devices: spin lasers and spin LEDs
- Emergent phenomena in van der Waals matter
- Proximity effects, moiré physics, spin-orbit coupling, …
- Xtronics, X = orbi, twist, spin, strain, …
- Semiconductor nanostructures (quantum wells and wires)
These research topics provide invaluable opportunities to establish strong collaborations with theoretical and experimental groups worldwide.
