research and teaching area
multiscale modeling for rational design of nanomaterials – the main research theme is the materials by design. research topics include complex oxides, 2d materials, and device material interface problems. main application areas are nanoelectronic devices and clean energy technology (energy storage and pollution control). modeling methods mainly based on quantum and atomistic simulations. the integrating material research theme is the transition metal compounds (tmcs) which encompass battery electrodes, pollution control catalysts, and tmds. the research goal is to design and experimentally realize novel tmcs for energy and device applications. teaching is ranging over materials science, solid state physics and solid mechanics. as a pedagogical tool, the ‘material design’ concept is illustrated by the msl simulator at nanohub (1898 users and 7772 runs at www.nanohub.org). for industrial applications, the multiscale material design framework was applied to design and develop pdau and mn-mullite diesel oxidation catalysts to replace pt group metal nanocatalysts in start-up companies.
