My research is focusing on the detailed analysis (by using ab initio methods based mainly on the density functional theory) of electronic and geometric structures of materials for comprehensions and predictions of their properties and of the reactions of atoms and molecules on material surfaces. Ultimately, my main target is to be able to design and propose new functional materials for practical applications.

Current research topic:

1. Pattern formation of molecules/atoms on surfaces
2. Electronic structure, optical and magnetic properties of low dimensional materials
3. Catalysis and electrocatalysis
4. Development of computational methods
5. Application of machine learning
