My research has been focussed on the analysis of the properties of systems in Material Science by means of first-principles simulation methods. I work in two research lines with the common goal of searching for new tentative materials for applications in catalysis:
1. Quantum-mechanical simulations of the structural and electronic properties of nanometric clusters. I am interested in studying the reactivity of both O₂/CO co-adsorption and H₂ adsorption on pure and doped clusters. The main interest is related to the search of more active CO oxidation catalysts as well as materials for an efficient H storage.
2. Simulation analysis of liquid-solid interfaces: the wetting problem. From a technological point of view, partial or complete wetting of the surface by the fluid is one of the main influences on catalyst efficiency.
