About us

Our research is situated in the field of electronic structure of condensed matter with current foci on the topics of nanostructures, low-dimensional materials, electronic interaction phenomena, and multi-scale modelling.

Along with the investigation of highlighted material systems in close cooperation with experiments, we are active in theoretical method developments.

Vision:  Understanding and design of complex quantum materials.

We are developing unified theoretical approaches to the structural, electronic and optical properties of complex materials accounting for atomistic details and interactions on equal footing. In this way, we aim to lay the basis for the understanding and the design of materials where target properties are controlled by electronic interactions and structural complexity at the same time.
