Short presentation

I am an Assistant Professor in computational materials chemistry leading a research team which a main focus on investigating how ions and molecules interact and move through materials, with applications in batteries and nanoporous systems.

We develop computational methods to connect atomic-scale interactions with diffusion across longer length and time scales. A particular focus is how the shape and connectivity of potential energy landscapes influence particle transport.
