His group uses first-principles computational methods and high-performance computing resources to predictively model the structural, electronic, and optical properties of bulk materials and nanostructures. The goal is to understand, predict, and optimize the properties of novel electronic, optoelectronic, photovoltaic, and thermoelectric materials.

The Kioupakis group uses high-performance computing to predictively model the electronic and optical properties of semiconductor nanostructures such as nanoporous silicon, nitride nanowires, and novel 2D materials.
