Research Interests
Research Interests
I am interested on the effects of electron scattering on the transport, thermoelectric and optical properties of materials.
Felipe’s research interests are
- The calculation of the resistance, piezoresistance and thermoelectricity in materials from first principles,
- The effect of strain on the electron-phonon and alloy scattering of alloys from first principles,
- Understanding the heating processes in nanowires,
- Time dependent energy and momentum relaxation in excited materials,
- Photoluminescence in Defect and Strain Engineered materials, such as Ge/InGaAs and Ge Defect Engineered Quantum Dots (Ge DEQDs).
