Introduction to the Theory of Lattice Vibrations and their Ab Initio Calculation

Ion Errea Lope
University of the Basque Country

Ion Errea holds a degree (2007) and PhD (2011) in Physics from the University of the Basque Country (UPV/EHU). He was a post-doctoral researcher at the Pierre and Marie Curie University in Paris and the Donostia International Physics Centre (DIPC). He was shortlisted for the 2015 Volker Heine Young Investigator Award and was selected Emerging Leader by the Journal of Physics: Condensed Matter. Since 2018, he has led the research group on Quantum Theory of Materials at the Centre for Material Physics (CSIC-UPV/EHU). His research focusses on the development of theoretical methods of calculating complex properties of solids and has been published in prestigious scientific journals including Nature, P. N. A. S, Nano Letters and Physical Review Letters. He has also been a guest speaker at dozens of international conferences.
