Emilio Artacho

Emilio Artacho leads the Theory group at Nanogune (San Sebastian, Spain) and is Professor in the Theory of Condensed Matter group at the Cavendish Laboratory (Department of Physics) of the University of Cambridge. He has worked in computational physics for more than three decades, doing theory, method development and computational studies in a variety of subjects touching on physics, chemistry, nano and bio. He participated in the inception of the SIESTA program and has been involved with it ever since. His recent research focuses on the simulation of systems far from equilibrium in the nanoscale. He is currently member of the Executive Committee of the Division of Computational Physics of the American Physical Society.
