Computational modelling and experimental characterisation of Metal-Organic Frameworks and organic semiconductors

Contact information


My research interests include

  • Structure-to-property relations for phonon-related properties
  • Phonon engineering: design materials with desired (vibrational) properties
  • Understanding heat transport in metal-organic frameworks and organic semiconductors
  • Computational modelling of MOFs
  • Determination of crystal structures combining simulations and Raman scattering techniques
which I study (mostly) with the these techniques:
  • Density Functional Theory
  • Raman Spectroscopy
