In our research we apply theoretical electronic structure methods, mainly density functional theory, to investigate transition metal oxides. Main research topics are:

  • Functional quantum materials
  • The role of defects for material properties
  • Surface chemistry and properties of complex transition metal oxides and oxynitrides
  • Defect chemistry under external strain, electric and magnetic fields
