New Postdoc

11.07.2024

A warm welcome to our new postdoc Faruk Salihbegović! Faruk is native to Bosnia and Herzegovina. He completed his bachelor's, master's, and doctorate in physics at the Vienna University of Technology. Faruk will now contribute to the team of the Cluster of Excellence Materials for Energy Conversion and Storage.

Faruk completed his PhD in the group of Andreas Grüneis. His research interests lie at the intersection of computational materials science and theoretical physics, with a particular emphasis on developing advanced methodologies for understanding and predicting the behavior of materials.

During his doctoral studies, he acquired a strong background in ab initio many-body methods, which will be valuable for implementing interatomic forces in excited states using TDDFT.

His experience with programming in an HPC context will enable him to make significant contributions to the team's objectives.
