Our research is focused on the study of the electronic properties of diverse carbon and transition metal nanostructures. Theoretical methods such as density functional theory, tight-binding, force-fields, among others are used to describe magnetic, optical, structural, and catalytic properties of fullerenes, carbon nanotubes, graphene, carbon nanoribbons, carbon clusters, transition metal chalcogenoide layered materials,  TM-clusters, TM-wires, etc. We have a special interest in the development of spintronic and valleytronic topics in nanomaterials.
