Biography

Johannes Lischner is a Professor in the Department of Materials at Imperial College London, where he serves as the Director of the MSc Advanced Material Science Engineering and is involved in the Thomas Young Centre. He obtained his Ph.D. in Physics from Cornell University in 2010 and joined Imperial College in 2014 as a Royal Society University Research Fellow. His research primarily focuses on electronic excitations in complex materials, developing novel methods to model excited states in twisted bilayers, particularly two-dimensional materials like twisted bilayer graphene and transition metal dichalcogenides. His areas of interest also extend to hot carrier generation in nanoplasmonic materials and simulating core and valence electron spectroscopies using advanced techniques such as the GW and Delta-SCF methods.
