Biography:

Professor Emilio Artacho arrived at Cambridge in 2001, starting in the Department of Earth Sciences, where he was granted a Professorship in 2006. In 2011 he transferred to the Cavendish. Before Cambridge he was associate professor in condensed matter physics in Madrid. He was Invited Professor at the Ecole Normale Superieure de Lyon (1999) and Visiting Miller Professor at the University of California at Berkeley (2007). He is head of the theory research line at Nanogune, in San Sebastian, Spain.

Research Interests:

Computational and theoretical condensed matter physics, computer simulation of solids and liquids with first-principles molecular dynamics based on density functional theory. Three main lines: Oxide heterostructures including multiferroics, liquid water and water/solid interfaces (wet systems), and non-adiabatic processes related to radiation damage of materials.
