My scientific work can be regrouped into two main research lines:
DFT and MBPT are two state-of-the-art frameworks for the description and prediction of material properties, such as photoemission, optical absorption and metal-insulator transitions. In particular I am interested in the description of strongly correlated materials, which physics is difficult to capture using standard approximations.
