Research interest
My research activities are focused on the study of ternary intermallics compounds for thermoelectric applications. The theoritical and the experimental parts are inverstigated. The stability and the electronic structure of intermetallic compounds are studied using first principles calculations (DFT). In parallel, the most promising compounds are synthetised and characterized, both structurally and in terms of their thermoelectric properties.
My research activities also focus on the use of first-principles calculation methods coupled with Machine Learning methods to accelerate the discovery of promising new compounds, whether in the fields of thermoelectricity, hydrogen storage or oxides.
