Franco Bonafe

Postdoc at Angel Rubio's group at the Max Planck Institute for the Structure and Dynamics of Matter. My current interests are related to the theoretical description of ab-initio atomistic dynamics of light-driven processes in systems such as plasmonic nanocavities, using TDDFT coupled to Maxwell's equations in real time as implemented in the code Octopus. With this tool we can study relevant phenomena such as plasmonic nanofucusing, attosecond spectroscopy, and field-enhanced spectroscopies.
