Theoretical advances, computational methods, computing power and ML/AI are changing our paradigm of scientific and technological discovery. Based on our collaborations within the MaX European Centre of Excellence and the S3 Centre at CNR - Nano, I will discuss examples of new phenomena and understanding from predictive ab-initio approaches, especially in van der Waals and photosynthetic systems and in battery materials, and discuss some key challenges and perspectives for computational spectroscopies and metrology at the nanoscale.
Elisa Molinari is an Italian physicist from the University of Modena and a member of CNR, Italy. She has been primarily interested in computational materials science and nanotechnologies, and she has been particularly active in the theory of fundamental properties of low-dimensional structures, in the simulation of nanodevices, and in the development of related computational methods.
