Curriculum Vitae
Research Topics and Team
My scientific work can be regrouped into two main research blocks :
- Formal developments, implementation, and applications in density functional theory (DFT)
- Formal developments, implementation, and applications in many-body perturbation theory (MBPT) based on Green’s functions
DFT and MBPT are two state-of-the-art frameworks for the description and prediction of material properties, such as photoemission, optical absorption and metal-insulator transitions. In particular I am interested in the description of strongly correlated materials, which physics is difficult to capture using standard approximations.
I currently supervise a team of one postdoc and two PhD students.
-
Stefano Di SABATINO (Postdoc, ANR )
After a one-year postdoc position with me and my colleague Pierre-François LOOS (LCPQ), Stefano is now working with Michel CAFFAREL (LCPQ) and myself on merging QMC with many-body perturbation theory. Stefano is also working on other side projects on strong electron correlation.
-
Roberto ORLANDO (PhD, 80|PRIME)
Roberto has just started his PhD with my colleague Pierre-François LOOS (LCPQ) and myself. He is exploring new approximations to the kernel of the Bethe-Salpeter equation, which is used in MBPT for the description of optical spectra.
-
Gabriele RIVA (PhD, ANR)
Gabriele has just started his PhD with my colleague Arjan BERGER (LCPQ) and myself. Being the one-body and the two-body Green’s functions too simple for him, he is working with the three-body Green’s function !!!
