معرفی
Arnaud Fihey is an Assistant Professor at the University of Rennes, where he conducts research at the intersection of quantum chemistry and materials science. His work focuses on modeling the geometry, electronic structure, and excited-state properties of optoelectronic systems with high experimental relevance.
His research spans from isolated organic chromophores, fluorophores, and photochromes to complex hybrid materials in which photoactive molecules are anchored to metallic aggregates. To address computational challenges in simulating large systems, he is actively developing and testing accelerated theoretical methods such as Density-Functional Tight-Binding (DFTB) and QM/Electrodynamics frameworks, aiming to extend the reach of quantum modeling beyond the limitations of conventional ab initio approaches.
While no specific publications, students, or awards are listed in the available text, his research program demonstrates a strong emphasis on methodological innovation for the simulation of photoresponsive materials. He is based at the Beaulieu campus in Building 10B, Office 217, and can be reached via email at arnaud.fihey@univ-rennes.fr.
