Research Interests

• Development of theoretical and computational methodologies for the understanding of electronic structure and charge carrier and exciton transport in organic semiconducting materials.

• Development of methods for treating the electron, hole and exciton states in inorganic quantum nanostructures (such as quantum dots).

• Application of various techniques that describe transport in quantum nanostructures (Boltzmann equations, density matrix method and the Nonequilibrium Green’s function technique) to modeling and design of optoelectronic devices, such as quantum dot infrared photodetectors, intraband quantum dot lasers and quantum cascade lasers.
