We all work in the development of simulation techniques and in their application to different problems, as well as in theoretical models to understand the simulation and experimental results. Topics include:

  • Computational and theoretical condensed matter physics.
  • Complex solids and liquids, using first-principles molecular dynamics based on density-functional theory and on linear-scaling density-functional theory.
  • Nanoscale oxide heterostructures including multiferroics, liquid water, and water/solid interfaces, and non-adiabatic processes related to radiation damage of materials.

  • La conexión entre el Premio Nobel de Física y San Sebastián

    Un trabajo del investigador Pablo Piaggi, Ikerbasque Fellow del grupo de Teoría de CIC nanoGUNE, se cita como un avance significativo en el anuncio del Premio Nobel de Física de este año. El Premio Nobel de Física 2024 ha recaído en John Hopfield y Geoffrey Hinton por sentar las bases de...Read more
