Scholar-generated biography
Giuseppe Mallia is a researcher at Imperial College London specializing in computational materials science, with a focus on electronic structure calculations and defect physics in solids. His work explores the properties of transition metal oxides, such as TiO2 and LaMnO3, using hybrid density functional theory and ab initio methods. He investigates phenomena like water adsorption, defect-induced photoluminescence, and surface reconstructions relevant to catalysis and energy applications. His research also includes the development of computational tools for periodic systems, such as the finite field perturbation method in the CRYSTAL program. Mallia's studies contribute to understanding the behavior of materials in fuel cells, solar hydrogen production, and plasmonic applications.
