Daniel Hernangomez Perez

Background: Since January 2024 I am Research Fellow ("Gipuzkoa Fellow") and Principal Investigator in the Theory group (head of the group, Prof. Emilio Artacho) at CIC nanoGUNE. My research is funded by the Spanish government (MICIU) and by Diputación Foral de Gipuzkoa.

Previously, I was member of the Theory of Excited-State Phenomena in Materials group at the Weizmann Institute of Science working with Dr. Sivan Refaely-Abramson and the Computational Condensed Matter Theory group at Universität Regensburg working with Prof. Ferdinand Evers.

I have broad expertise in different areas of condensed matter, materials physics and quantum chemistry ("quantum technology"), including the study of quantum transport, structural and topological effects, as well as magnetism and many-body optical excitations of low dimensional systems (two-dimensional electron gases, molecular junctions, transition-metal dichalcogenides, graphene, etc.). For this purpose, I employ a range of different first principles computational techniques (density functional theory, GW, Bethe-Salpether equation ...), but also model Hamiltonians, and analytical theory development.

I am one of the lead developers of the quantum transport package AITRANSS and contribute to the development effort of the ab initio package FHI-aims.
