Research Interests:

The principal area of my research is concerned with the theory of disordered systems and the modeling of complex materials incorporating a broad range of topics from electronic structure of amorphous solids, and Anderson localization in quasiperiodic and disordered systems to multi‐objective optimization problems in physics.

Research Interests:

• Materials design as inverse problems
• Maximum entropy in Electronic Structure of materials
• Classical moment problems and its applications
• Diffusion in zeolites and disordered materials
• Fast ionic conduction in complex glasses
• Swarm intelligence
