Crystal epitaxial growth and device fabrication on wide band gap semiconductors. In particular, Monte Carlo kinetic (kMC) algorithms for the simulation of semiconductors crystal growths, density functional theory (DFT) algorithms to calculate electronic properties of defective crystals and finite element simulations (FES) to predict mechanical behaviours in micro devices (MEMS). Experimental characterization techniques include Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM), Raman, Photoluminescence, Scanning Electron Microscopies (SEM), Atomic force microscopies (AFM, X-ray Diffractometers (XRD) and electrical measurements (I-V and C-V).
