Hire Dr. Andres B.

Belgium

Profile Summary

I currently hold an appointment as a postdoctoral researcher from the National Funding agency of Belgium (FNRS) at the Université catholique de Louvain. In general, I have been interested in the new physical properties of materials at the nanoscale. In particular, the approach of my research research has been via the simulation of the physical properties of novel materials at the atomic level, using state-of-the-art computational techniques. The approach is multi-scale, that is, going from first principles, to simpler empirical models. I have a collaborative working style, which is reflected in the number of publications that I have carried out in collaboration with experimental groups. In addition, I have strong international experience, having worked in several laboratories around the world. I speak Spanish, French and English.
