Presently I am working on the electronic properties of low-dimensional transition-metal dichalcogenides for nanoelectronic and optoelectronic applications; electronic properties of transition-metal oxides for applications in catalytic water splitting; stacking of inorganic layered materials. I am also interested in properties of carbon-based nanostructures and inorganic nanotubes. The research is carried out using first-principles methods.
