La línea de investigación principal es la simulación computacional de nanomateriales, dentro de los cuales se destacan los nanotubos de aluminosilicato conocidos como imogolita y nanotubos tipo imogolita, los nanotubos de carbono, grafeno y materiales 2D y nanopartículas metálicas. Además, usamos las técnicas computacionales para el estudio de materiales bajo daño por irradiación. Actualmente somos parte del Centro para el Desarrollo de la Nanociencia y Nanotecnología CEDENNA.
Actualmente participa como Investigador Principal en el Proyecto FONDECYT REGULAR 1241569 «Solar Salts modified with 2D nanomaterials: evaluation of thermophysical properties of molten salts» y como Co-investigador del proyecto FONDECYT REGULAR 1241151 «Towards optimal thermosolar energy storage efficiency: exploring solar salt modified with MXenes to obtain novel nanofluids».
Anteriormente participó como Investigador Principal en el proyecto FONDECYT INICIACIÓN 11180557 «Imogolite and imogolite-like nanotubes forming new nanostructures with 2D materilas for water remediation, gas storage and molecular sieve».
