For successful use of materials in electronics, it is crucial to thoroughly understand their structural properties on an atomic level. The young researcher will specialize in working with a transmission electron microscope with atomic resolution. Research will include...

Dr. Matic Poberžnik

As part of his/her doctoral studies, the young researcher will focus on the development of a general and flexible computational framework for performing on-the-fly kinetic Monte Carlo (kMC) simulations. Kinetic Monte Carlo is a method in which the time evolution of a...
