About
I employ both computational chemistry techniques and advanced experimetal tools to research and design of novel porous materials, such as Zeolities & Metal-Organic Frameworks (MOFs).
Specialties: - Computational Chemistry including Force-field based simulations (Monte Carlo, Molecular Dynamics), Density Functional Theory (DFT) and ab initio techniques
- Separation and Purification technologies
- Adsorption and diffusion in porous materials
- Modelling of electronic structure of catalysts
