The main line of research is the computational simulation of nanomaterials, among which the aluminosilicate nanotubes known as imogolite and imogolite-type nanotubes, carbon nanotubes, graphene and 2D materials and metallic nanoparticles stand out. Additionally, we use computational techniques to study materials under radiation damage. We are part of the CEDENNA Center for the Development of Nanoscience and Nanotechnology.
He currently participates as Principal Investigator in the Project FONDECYT REGULAR 1241569 "Solar Salts modified with 2D nanomaterials: evaluation of thermophysical properties of molten salts". Previously, he participated as Principal Investigator in the project FONDECYT INICIACIÓN 11180557 "Imogolite and imogolite-like nanotubes forming new nanostructures with 2D materials for water remediation, gas storage and molecular sieve".
Keywords: Molecular Dynamics Simulation, Imogolite, Nanoparticles, Graphene, Irradiation Damage.
