Research

I am interested in the following research topics

· Modeling Epitaxial Growth

· Fundamentals of Nucleation and Thin Film Growth

· Materials for Sustainable Energy

· Strain-Driven Formation and Self-Organization of Quantum Dots and Nano-Structures

· Design and Stability of Heterocrystal Interfaces using High-Throughput Screening

· Stability of Semiconductor Reconstructions

· Diffusion on Metal and Semiconductor Surfaces

I am using the following theoretical and modeling tools

· Density-functional theory (DFT)

· The Level-set method

· Kinetic Monte-Carlo methods
