Alvaro Posada Borbon
I am interested in research in computational chemistry and computational physics from first principles (DFT) applied to heterogeneous catalysis and surface science. Particularly, I am interested in research for the catalytic production of renewable fuels, pollution control, and water remediation. In my work, I apply electronic structure methods, specifically DFT, in the form of theoretical X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, thermodynamics from first principles, and mean field microkinetic modelling for the description and rationalization of experimentally observed surface conditions and reaction mechanisms. With my research I hope to improve societal quality of life through the development of scientific understanding, formation of qualified young scientists, and technological development.
