Novel computational methods for materials design
This project aims to develop a computational workflow that integrates ab-initio density functional theory (DFT) with machine learning (ML) and neural networks (NN) approaches. The workflow will be applied to two case studies involving materials with reduced periodicity: (i) the investigation of optoelectronic and vibrational properties of AgBiS2 and related cation-disordered compounds, and (ii) the prediction of realistic nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectra in two-dimensional hybrid perovskites
Selection process
The selection is carried out through the comparative evaluation of qualifications, scientific-professional curriculum, scientific productivity and an interview by a Selection Committee appointed by the Director of the structure. The Selection Committee shall be composed of three effective members, including the Scientific Supervisor and/or the Tutor, and at least one substitute member.
- for qualifications 25 points: degree, PhD, specialization diploma, certificates of attendance of post-graduate specialisation courses (obtained in Italy or abroad);- for the scientific-professional curriculum 20 points: documented research activity carried out at public and private entities with contracts, scholarships or assignments (both in Italy and abroad) relevant to the research activity subject of the announcement;- for scientific productivity 25 points: quantity and quality of scientific publications, including master's or single-cycle master's or doctoral theses;- for interview 30 points.
