معرفی
Sergei Simak serves as a Visiting Professor in the Department of Physics and Astronomy at Uppsala University, specializing in Materials Theory. His primary research address is Ångströmlaboratoriet, Regementsvägen 10, Uppsala.
Dr. Simak's research spans computational materials science with focus on density functional theory, magnetic materials, and perovskite semiconductors. His recent work explores phase transitions in shape-memory alloys, high-pressure hydride synthesis, and magnetocaloric effects. Notably, he develops machine learning approaches to enhance DFT thermodynamics calculations.
Analysis of his 15 most recent publications (2022-2025) reveals dominant research trends: (1) computational investigation of magnetic properties in lead-free double perovskites for optoelectronic applications; (2) high-pressure synthesis and characterization of hydridosilicates; (3) modeling martensitic transitions and phase diagrams under extreme conditions. His work frequently employs first-principles calculations and high-throughput screening methods.
Dr. Simak actively collaborates with researchers across international institutions, with recent publications appearing in Physical Review Materials, Nature Materials, and Scientific Reports. His work shows significant interdisciplinary reach between condensed matter physics, materials chemistry, and computational science.
