Research Interests
My current research interests and projects are focused on the implementation of theory and quantum-mechanical modeling to study the reactivity and catalytic properties of thermodynamically stable oxide surfaces and to design materials with enhanced control over the coupling of structural and electronic phase transitions. Also, my research employs molecular dynamics to understand the behavior in the dielectric responses of relaxor ferroelectric materials.
