Multiscale Materials Modelling

Our group explores fundamental physical phenomena in low dimensional materials and magnetism based on advanced multiscale simulations, ranging from the quantum mechanical electronic structure to atomistic models. Our expertise includes both the development of fundamental theoretical models and its implementation in high performance computational codes. Current research topics include: the search for sustainable permanent magnets with a reduced content of rare-earth elements; the design of innovative materials and heterostructures aimed to provide solutions in nanotechnology and spin based electronics; the incorporation of high throughput methods and neural networks techniques in the description of complex nanomagnets to gain predictive power in their tailored design; the investigation of ultrafast spin dynamics processes in complex magnets and their application in the development of novel computational architectures.
