Dr Arash Mostofi
Lecturer and Deputy Director, Centre for Doctoral Training on Theory and Simulation of MaterialsBiography
Biography:
Arash Mostofi leads a research group that is dedicated to the application and development of theory and computational simulation tools for solving problems in materials and condensed matter systems. The state-of-the-art computational tools that are developed in his group are shared with the wider scientific community, either through commercial, academic or general public (open-source) license, to benefit the pursuit and dissemination of knowledge in this field.
Current research interests:
- Thermoelectric properties of semiconducting nanostructures
- Defects in nanostructures and at interfaces
- Multi-functional oxide materials, ferroelectrics
- Polymer filtration membranes
- Spin transport in organic thin films
- Development of linear-scaling density-functional theory and local orbital methods for large-scale simulations
