ProfessorArash Mostofi

Arash Mostofi is Professor of Theory and Simulation of Materials in the Departments of Materials and Physics at Imperial College London. He is the Associate Head of Department (Education) in the Department of Materials at Imperial College London; a member of the Management Board of the Materials and Molecular Modelling Hub, which hosts the UK’s dedicated national Tier-2 High-Performance Computing facility (Young) for materials and molecular modelling; and he is Chair of the Board of Trustees of Psi-k, a Europe-based, worldwide network of researchers working on the advancement of first-principles computational materials science.

Arash's research is dedicated to the development and application of first-principles modelling tools for the theory and simulation of materials. He is an original author and developer of two major electronic structure simulation codes, ONETEP and Wannier90, used by hundreds of researchers worldwide. His research interests include the electronic and optical properties of 2D materials and twisted 2D heterostructures, adsorbates, defects and interfaces in materials, and multifunctional perovskite and layered perovskite oxides.
