He primarily uses density functional theory (DFT), time-dependent DFT, and modern machine learning methods to study these systems.</p> <p>During his career in academic research, he explored a variety of different materials, including <a href="https://pubs.acs.org/doi/full/10.1021/acs.inorgchem.5c01115" target="_blank" rel="noopener">nano-porous graphene</a>, <a href="https://advanced.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1002/advs.201400016" target="_blank" rel="noopener">metal-organic interfaces</a>, and <a href="https://pubs.acs.org/doi/abs/10.1021/acs.jctc.0c00858" target="_blank" rel="noopener">molecules</a>. Furthermore, he successfully collaborated with experimentalists, exploring the properties of <a href="https://www.science.org/doi/full/10.1126/science.aar2009" target="_blank" rel="noopener">experimentally synthesized nano-porous graphene</a> and <a href="www.nature.com/articles/s41467-021-23528-8">self-assembled monolayers</a>.</p> <p>He also worked in the private sector for one year as project engineer for computational fluid dynamics.</p> <p>Bernhard is a permanent staff member in the Modelling and Theory of Materials Group since 2026.</p>https://mtm.irb.hr/publication/kretz-tuning-2025/Thu, 29 May 2025 00:00:00 +0000https://mtm.irb.hr/publication/kretz-tuning-2025/
