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.

Connection between the Nobel Prize in Physics and San Sebastian
In the announcement of this year's Nobel Prize in Physics a paper by the researcher Pablo Piaggi, an Ikerbasque Research Fellow in CIC nanoGUNE’s Theory group, is cited as a significant breakthrough. The 2024 Nobel Prize in Physics has been awarded to John Hopfield and Geoffrey…Read more
