Nominator's project description

Professor Curtarolo is an international leader in the field of computational materials science with a focus on materials design. He has made important contributions to the development of data-mining and high-throughput algorithms for computationally-assisted discovery of new materials. During his stay in Germany, Professor Curtarolo focuses on the growing field of first-principle materials design from both, a methodological and an applicative point of view.
