Computational Models

This line of our research is devoted to the development of computational models for optoelectronics. They can range from atomistic ab-initio quantum theories, to continuum finite-element type models up to system-level descriptions. The level of detail is driven by the complexity of the device or system under study. The goal is to apply the models to real-world applications, and to capture the underlying physics, in order to enable computer-based device design and analysis. Optoelectronics is a rich field for such a purpose, as it contains optical, electronic and thermal properties, which are often coupled together. This leads to coupled multi-physics problems in two or three dimensions, that require dedicated numerical algorithms and solvers.
