Dr. Marina Filip

Biography

Marina Filip graduated with a PhD in Materials Science in 2016, and continued her post-doctoral research in the Department of Materials at the University of Oxford until 2018. She served as a Junior Research Fellow at Wolfson College, Oxford, and from 2018 to 2020, was a postdoctoral scholar at Lawrence Berkeley National Lab and in the Department of Physics at the University of California, Berkeley. In February 2020, she joined the faculty of the Department of Physics at the University of Oxford as an Associate Professor in Condensed Matter Physics. Her research expertise is focused on methods and principles of materials modeling, including density functional theory, density functional perturbation theory, and many-body perturbation theory. She aims to understand the structural, electronic, and optical excitations in complex semiconductors and to design strategies for the engineering, designing, and discovery of new materials for optoelectronic applications. Marina's research involves extensive use of high-performance computing facilities, including NERSC (Berkeley), TACC (UT Austin), and Summit (Oak Ridge National Lab). She is also a Tutorial Fellow in Physics and a member of the Governing Body at University College, and serves as an early-career editorial advisory board member for the AIP journal Applied Physics Reviews.
