Research interests and experience My research interests lie in the areas of general solid state physics including surface physics and general computational quantum chemistry of insulating solids. My background in quantum chemistry includes both ab initio and semi-empirical methods. I have extensive theoretical and practical experience in Hartree-Fock (HF) and beyond HF formalisms (correlation effects including Method of Local Operators and the GW method) as a result of my investigations of a wide range of materials: alkali halides, AgCl and several oxides, such as corundum, SiO₂ and K₂(PO₄)₂. I have significant experience in the Density Functional Theory (DFT) gained while studying structure and properties of oxide crystals such as MgO, CaO and SnO₂. I have also strong background in general condensed matter physics: specifically in solid state physics, including Green's functions methods, diagrammatic techniques, methods of lattice dynamics of perfect and defect-containing crystals, group theory, etc.
