Ageo Meier de Andrade

Ageo Meier de Andrade is a Researcher in the Department of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering at Chalmers University of Technology. His work focuses on computational materials modeling, particularly using first-principles methods like Density Functional Theory (DFT). He currently holds a postdoctoral position funded by the Swedish Radiation Safety Authority (SSM) and the Swedish Research Council, investigating stress corrosion cracking and hydrogen embrittlement in nickel-base alloys for nuclear applications. Since October 2023, his research has been conducted at the Computational Materials Design group at the Max-Planck-Institut für Eisenforschung under an international postdoc grant from Sweden.

His research interests span materials science, computational chemistry, and corrosion science, with a strong emphasis on atomistic modeling and predictive simulations for engineering materials. Key areas include the structural and energetic properties of alloys, catalytic systems, and optoelectronic materials. His contributions include studies on stress-corrosion cracking mechanisms in nuclear materials, hot carrier generation in semiconductors, and the design of functional materials using advanced DFT techniques.

Notable publications include experimental-guided first-principles studies on hydrogen's role in nickel-base alloy corrosion and theoretical investigations into transition metal catalysts and conductive polymers. His work is supported by grants from Swedish national agencies and international collaborations.
