My research activity is mainly based on the theoretical study, via the state-of-the-art of numerical methods, of electronic properties of real materials. I am particularly interested in the study of the limits of actual approaches and approximations, in order to propose solutions to go towards a better comprehension and description of the physics of the studied system.
Several research lines are currently investigated:

  • exciton dispersion and dimensionality effects
  • new kernels for TDDFT
  • interconnection among different spectroscopies (EELS, IXS, PES).

My group, whose activity mainly concerns theoretical and numerical developements of excitonic effects in varied spectroscopies, is today composed of 2 PhD students (both in co-supervision with Vitaly): Carlos Rodriguez Perez and Ilyada Ashgar.

An important part of my activity is also devoted to code developments. I am the coordinator of the ab initio codes DP (linear response TDDFT code) and EXC (Bethe-Salpeter equation code).
