Our research focus lies between theoretical chemistry, computational materials science and solid state physics. In particular, we are interested in describing electronic structure of materials at their excited state, relying on first principles of quantum mechanics. Within density functional theory (DFT), we focus on finding systematic failures of commonly used exchange-correlation functionals and fixing them from first principles, to improve the predictive power of the method. The ensemble approach in DFT frequently serves us in our research.
