Research
The Gagliardi group develops novel quantum chemical methods for strongly correlated systems and combines first principle methods with classical simulation techniques.The applications are focused on the computational design of novel materials and molecular systems for energy-related challenges. Special focus is devoted to modeling quantum materials, catalysis and spectroscopy in molecular systems and materials; photovoltaic properties of organic and inorganic semiconductors; actinides.
Topics: Quantum chemistry, electronic structure theories, quantum materials
