Our group develops theory and computational methods to study the behavior of electrons in materials. We focus on first-principles calculations, which can predict the properties of materials using numerical quantum mechanics without any input from experiments. Our research sheds light on the quantum interactions and dynamics of electrons, atomic vibrations, spin, and other excitations in condensed matter. Knowledge of these microscopic processes advances the understanding of transport, nonequilibrium dynamics, spin physics, and light-matter interactions. This work spans a wide range of conventional and quantum materials with both fundamental interest and technological applications.

We have openings for graduate students. Please contact Prof. Bernardi to discuss.
