Our research is in advanced materials and nanostructures for electronics and optoelectronics. We aim to provide theoretical guidance to experimental efforts and accelerate the development of electronic devices with new functionalities.

We use density functional theory and model-Hamiltonian approaches together with semiclassical and quantum transport methods for electrons and phonons.
