Our research is concerned with the theoretical understanding and computational modelling of quantum materials (bulk and surfaces) using first principles electronic structure methods. Diagrammatic Montecarlo and machine learning data-driven tools. Quantum materials are systems with many interacting degrees of freedom (lattice, spin, and electron orbital) that represent a rich platform for discovering novel electronic and magnetic phases with fundamental and applicative interest. Specific topics include: polaron physics, computational magnetism and computational surface science.
