ML-Accelerated Excited-State Simulations of Perovskite Optoelectronics

Halide perovskites are a fascinating class of materials with a wide range of applications in (spin)optoelectronics. Their outstanding optoelectronic properties are strongly influenced by coupling between excited electronic states and the wildly vibrating atoms in these “soft semiconductors”. Read more

Molecular Mechanisms of Insect Olfaction Toward Sesquiterpenoid Stereoisomers

How do insects distinguish between mirror-image molecules, and why can a subtle change in stereochemistry transform a strong attractant into a compound that elicits no response? This PhD project explores the mechanisms that drive insect recognition of sesquiterpenoid stereoisomers, a class of compounds commonly involved in true bug pheromone communication. Read more
