As further evidence of her success, in the new year Marija will start as a postdoc in the group of Karsten Reuter at FHI-Berlin @thdept-fhi-mpg.bsky.social

Many, many congratulations to Marija for all her hard work leading to this moment. Together, we have been working on applying Koopmans functionals to photocatalysis. You can find some of her work here arxiv.org/abs/2412.17488 (and more manuscripts are in the pipeline!)
Predicting the suitability of photocatalysts for water splitting using Koopmans spectral functionals: The case of TiO$_2$ polymorphs
Photocatalytic water splitting has attracted considerable attention for renewable energy production. Since the first reported photocatalytic water splitting by titanium dioxide, this material remains…

I have returned to Switzerland with a lot of new ideas (but also some resentment re: Swiss vs Spanish weather!)

I was shocked to discover that at a conference with only 1300 participants I'm one of only 3 people from Ocenia! I'm a proud representative, but NZ can do so much more!

Would be nice if it became standard after events for slides to be collated and made public (but we all know how much of a headache that would be 🐈🐈🐈🐈)

... and there is a nice summary on the MARVEL website https://nccr-marvel.ch/highlights/machine-learning-koopmans
How machine learning can help predict the spectral properties of materials - Highlights - nccr-marvel.ch :: NCCR MARVEL
MARVEL scientists at the Paul Scherrer Institute and the University of Zurich have used a machine learning model to calculate the screening parameters for Koopmans functionals, a promising approach…

It was nice to be invited to give a talk about how Koopmans functionals can help solve some of these challenges, but there's lots more to be done!
