Quantum Simulation - DFT

I am a theoretical physics researcher and well-versed in the fundamental principles and theories governing the behavior of matter and materials at the atomic and molecular levels. 

I am particularly interested in density functional theory (DFT), a powerful computational method used to predict and understand the electronic structure and properties of materials. As a DFT developer and application specialist, I am skilled in using this method to investigate a wide range of chemical and physical systems, including molecules, solids, surfaces, and interfaces. I also develop and implement new DFT algorithms and techniques or apply DFT to solve real-world problems in fields such as physics, chemistry, and materials science.
