We all work in the development of simulation techniques and in their application to different problems, as well as in theoretical models to understand the simulation and experimental results. Topics include:
- Computational and theoretical condensed matter physics.
- Complex solids and liquids, using first-principles molecular dynamics based on density-functional theory and on linear-scaling density-functional theory.
- Nanoscale oxide heterostructures including multiferroics, liquid water, and water/solid interfaces, and non-adiabatic processes related to radiation damage of materials.

Electrical control of magnetism by electric field and current-induced torques
In a recent review article published in Reviews of Modern Physics, Fèlix Casanova from the Nanodevices group at CIC nanoGUNE, Prof. Albert Fert, Nobel Prize in Physics, and his colleagues review the state of the art of electrical control of magnetism and give scientific and technological future persperctives.
