(i) Development of theoretical and computational methodologies for understanding electronic structure and charge carrier transport in semiconducting, metallic, and graphene based nanostructures;

(ii) Discovering new nano-systems that could potentially lead to game-changing technologies. I combine quantum-mechanical models and artificial-intelligence methods to enable deliberate design of nanostructures with target physical properties by searching large spaces of materials and geometries in a sophisticated, a priori, targeted manner.
