Abstract: Semiconductor nanomaterials such as quantum dots, nanowires and two-dimensional materials are of interest for optoelectronic applications, including solar cells, photodetectors, LEDs, lasers and photocatalysis. We study electronic excited states (excitons), charge carriers and many-body complexes thereof.

Abstract: Advanced functional materials are at the core of chemistry and engineering research to address societal challenges related to health, energy, and sustainability.

Abstract: Machine learning (ML) methods are taking a prominent role for surrogate modelling motivated by their capability to alleviate the high computational complexity of traditional methods. Moreover,ML-based methods are also well suited for problems where no symbolic models are available or where not all phenomena are fully understood while experimental data is available.

Abstract: The quantitative understanding of glacial ice melting into the ocean is one of the most outstanding challenges in environmental fluid dynamics. The lack of understanding is on a fundamental level, due to the highly complex multi-scale, multi-physics nature of the problem.

Abstract: Simulation of tokamak plasmas is a multi-physics challenge across multiple timescales. Coupled partial-differential-equations evolve quantities like current, heat, particles and momentum, over entire experiment timescales.
