| Biography: The Division of Ultrafast Processes in Materials Andrea Marini is presently at the head of the Division of Ultrafast Processes in Materials (FLASHit) of the CNR-ISM. FLASHit is part of the Laboratory of Materials Modeling of the same institute. He coordinates the laboratory that is composed of 12 permanent members and three postDocs. The laboratory is also equipped with a local high-performance computing cluster. The heterogeneous background and skills of the lab members is the strength of the modeling ability of the CNR-ISM. The modeling lab can indeed perform simulations on a wide range of materials and physical and chemical phenomena: ranging from structural analysis to equilibrium excited state properties (band structures, optico-electronic properties, transport, magnetic properties and more). Out-of-Equilibrium Phenomena in Realistic Materials Starting from 2010 Andrea Marini has started working in the field of out-of-the-equilibrium phenomena from an Ab-Initio perspective. The goal is to devise a novel approach (Ai-NEGF) based on the merging of NEGF theory with DFT. In practice the atomistic DFT representation is used to perform advanced Many-Body calculations of realistic materials under the action of arbitrary strong laser pulses. The Ai-NEGF is fully embodied in the Yambo code and used in many user projects submitted to the Nanoscience Foundries & Fine Analysis (NFFA) European user infrastructure. The Yambo Project Andrea Marini is the founder and currently Coordinator of the ab-initio Yambo project (www.yambo-code.org). Yambo is a worldwide known, open source code for steady-state and real-time excited state Ab-Initio calculations. It is part of two European networks devoted to exascale computing (MaX, http://www.max-centre.eu/) and to the creation of a material science European infrastructure (NFFA, http://www.nffa.eu/). Yambo is also a member of the Partnership for Advanced Computing in Europe and it is installed on many High-Performance Centers around the world. | |
