Oleg Yazyev is an Associate Professor of Physics at Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL), specializing in computational materials physics. His research focuses on the electronic and magnetic properties of two-dimensional materials, including transition metal dichalcogenides and graphene-based systems. He investigates phenomena such as defect-induced magnetism, edge states, and topological defects in graphene. His work also explores spintronics and correlated states in twisted double bilayer graphene. Yazyev employs density functional theory (DFT) simulations to study these systems, with a particular emphasis on static and dynamic DFT methods. His research contributes to understanding the fundamental physics of nanomaterials and their potential applications in advanced electronic and spintronic devices.
