Líneas de investigación

La línea de investigación está enfocada en el estudio de la estructura electrónica y propiedades fotofísicas de materiales tipo MOFs (Metal–organic frameworks), mediante métodos basados en la teoría del funcional de la densidad (DTF) y post-Hartree-Fock, aplicados en detección química, catalítica y fotocatalítica.

Actualmente es investigador principal del proyecto FONDECYT Postdoctoral 3230141 «New porphyrin-based MOFs as photocatalysts for hydrogen evolution via sunlight-driven water splitting. A quantum-chemical study of the electronic and photophysical properties» e investigador adjunto del proyecto FONDAP ANID 1523A0006 Centro de Investigación en Energía Solar (SERC-Chile).

Palabras clave: Estructuras metal-orgánicas (MOFs), química computacional, propiedades fotofísicas, interacciones moleculares.
