Welcome to Simone's Research Group webpage!


We are a consensed matter physics group specialized in theoretical methods for ab-initio calculations. Our research interest spans the following topics:

  • Cavity Materials Engineering;
  • Strong-Light Matter Interaction;
  • Non-equilibrium Electron Dynamics;
  • Optical properties of Two-Dimensional Materials;
  • First Principles methods for Many-Body Theory.
