Overview
First-principes materials science for hydrogen generation, topological semimetals, and microelectronics
Biography
Stephan Lany is a theoretical/computational scientist with a background in first principles calculations for problems in materials physics and chemistry. He received his PhD in Physics in 2002 from the Universität des Saarlandes, in Saarbrücken, Germany. In 2003, he joined the National Laboratory of the Rockies in Golden, Colorado as a post-doctoral researcher, where he currently works as a senior scientist. His projects have covered a wide range of materials from transition metal oxides to topological semimetals to ultra-wide gap semiconductors. His research combines the power of density-functional and electronic structure calculations from first principles with approaches and methods in defect theory, alloys and disorder, structure prediction, and materials design and
