Areas of Research
My research program at the University of Calgary addresses key problems related to (nano)materials and quantum science, but it also assumes an interdisciplinary character, touching the boundaries of complexity science, computer science, and neuroscience. By means of computational methods, my works aim at investigating non-conventional nanomaterials engineered for specific technological applications: (i) neuromorphic (brain-like) systems viewed as next-generation computing devices that process information like neurons in a mammalian brain, (ii) transparent conducting films to enhance durability in existing touch screens and flexible display technologies, (iii) molecular chemical sensors for accurate detection of chemical impurities in the environment, and (iv) quantum materials to enable the quantum technologies of the future in photonics and energy, electronics, sensing, computing and information, and metrology.
