Research group description

We investigate low-dimensional nanomaterials, especially carbon nanomaterials, for their structural, mechanical, vibrational, electronic, and electromechanical properties using computational methods ranging from continuum to first-principles electronic structure methods. 

We're looking for a post-doc with excellent technical skills in computational materials modeling!
