Amirhossein Bayani

Dr. Amirhossein Bayani is a Postdoctoral Researcher at the Cluster of Excellence liv MatS (Freiburg Center for Interactive Materials and Bioinspired Technologies) at the University of Freiburg. His work focuses on developing semantic web frameworks and ontologies to structure material properties, particularly in self-repair, energy harvesting, and adaptive technologies. Supervised by Prof. Dr. Chris Eberl, his research bridges computational chemistry and materials science to advance smart materials systems.

His research interests include computational modeling of 2D materials (e.g., graphene derivatives, boron nitride), semiconductor devices, and nanoelectronics. He employs Density Functional Theory (DFT) and atomistic simulations to study electronic properties, device performance, and material interfaces.

Key research trends in his articles include:

• Electronic properties of novel 2D materials (graphyne, pentasilicene)
• Optimization of nanoelectronic devices (TFETs, FinFETs)
• Interface engineering in photovoltaic systems and catalytic materials
• Gas sensor design using nanomaterials (graphene nanoribbons, siligene)

While no academic awards are explicitly listed, his contributions span over 20 peer-reviewed articles since 2013, with a focus on interdisciplinary materials science. He collaborates with liv MatS to translate computational insights into practical bioinspired technologies.
