About
Hi, my name is Pol. I am a PhD student in Computational and Applied Physics at UPC, under the supervision of Dr. Claudio Cazorla and Prof. Edgardo Saucedo. My research primarily focuses on Computational Condensed Matter Physics, where I use first-principles methods, like Density Functional Theory, to model the structural and optoelectronic properties of novel inorganic semiconductor materials from an atomic perspective. These materials are expected to be interesting candidates for energy harvesting and optoelectronic applications, such as photovoltaics, solid-state batteries, and neuromorphic computing, among others. Other research topics I am interested in and currently working on include computationally inexpensive Crystal Structure Prediction methods, electron-phonon interaction effects on the optoelectronic properties of semiconductors, and Crystal Graph Neural Networks for materials property prediction.
