معرفی
Marco Govoni is an Associate Professor at the University of Modena and Reggio Emilia, affiliated with the Department of Physics, Informatics, and Mathematics. His research focuses on quantum defects, electronic structure theory, and many-body perturbation methods (e.g., GW/BSE), with applications to spin defects in semiconductors for quantum technologies, perovskites, and heterogeneous materials. He develops computational tools like the WEST code and explores quantum simulations on high-performance and near-term quantum computers. He teaches courses in General Physics and Theoretical Physics, emphasizing computational methods and material science.
Research interests include: condensed matter physics, quantum computing, electronic structure theory, defect engineering, and computational material discovery. His work addresses challenges in simulating large systems, optimizing hybrid functionals, and leveraging GPU acceleration for many-body calculations. Key contributions include studies on self-trapped excitons, spin defects in diamond/SiC, and dielectric-dependent functionals for heterogeneous interfaces.
Publications span topics like quantum defect embedding theory, GPU-accelerated Bethe-Salpeter equation solutions, and machine learning for dielectric screening. He collaborates widely, contributing to software interoperability and exascale computing strategies for electronic structure codes.
