Research Interests:
Vincent Meunier's research interests are centered on theory, modeling and computer simulation in various areas of nanoscience. Specifically, he conducts research in theoretical physics, with special emphasis into electronic quantum transport and novel scanning probe microscopy techniques. He also recently worked energy materials for capacitive energy storage as well as on the emergence of quantum mechanical phenomena related to nanoconfinement on metal oxide surfaces. His work is equally divided between application (simulation) and code development on large-scale computational platforms. A remarked aspect of his work is the numerous collaborations he has been pursuing with experimental groups across the world.
