My research
is mainly on the theory of semiconductors using ab initio atomistic
computer modelling methods with atom clusters and supercells.
At the moment I'm interested in making radiation hard silicon detectors, such as

and additionally In the past
I was keen on diamond and amorphous carbon using plane wave ab-initio methods,
tight-binding and classical potentials (see the publications below).
