My present research is devoted to searching for the structure and studying the properties of materials of different dimensionality - atomic clusters, nanowires, nanotubes, 2D structures, surfaces, and bulk structures - using a range of computational methods: tight-binding, DFT, Hartree-Fock (ab-initio), classical and quantum Monte Carlo, and cluster expansion. For further information about my research, please have a look at my papers. Curriculum Vitae
