Dr Theodoros Papadopoulos

Theodoros is a senior lecturer at the University of Chester. His research interests span on the area of computational condensed matter physics and surface science. In terms of applications, his work is related to devices such as organic photovoltaics (OPVs) and organic light emitting diodes (OLEDs), which reside in the field of organic optoelectronics and molecular electronics. His research interests include:

1) Charge transfer at metal/organic and metal-oxide/organic interfaces.
2) Surface physics of metal oxides in the presence of defects and impurities.
3) Charge and exciton transport in pi-conjugated materials.
4) Electron transport in single-molecule junctions.
5) Real-time attosecond electron dynamics in nano-clusters and molecules.

The theoretical tools employed for Theodoros' research activities include Density Functional Theory (DFT), Time-Dependent Density Functional Theory (TD-DFT), Scattering theory and Green functions within the Landauer-Buttiker formalism, as well as kinetic Monte Carlo (KMC) modelling.
