XXI Reunión Mexicana de Fisicoquímica Teórica

Alexandre Tkatchenko

Alexandre Tkatchenko is a professor at the Department of Physics and Materials Science (and head of this department since January 2020) at the University of Luxembourg, where he holds a chair in Theoretical Chemical Physics composed of ~35 multidisciplinary scientists. Tkatchenko also holds a distinguished visiting professor position at the Technical University of Berlin.

His group develops accurate and efficient first-principles computational models to study a wide range of complex materials, aiming at qualitative understanding and quantitative prediction of their structural, cohesive, electronic, and optical properties at the atomic scale and beyond. He has delivered more than 350 invited talks, seminars, and colloquia worldwide, published 200 articles in prestigious journals (h-index of 79 with more than 34,000 citations; Top 1% ISI highly cited researcher in 2018-2022), and serves on the editorial boards of Science Advances (AAAS), Physical Review Letters (APS), and the Journal of Physical Chemistry Letters (ACS).

Tkatchenko has received a number of awards, including APS Fellow from the American Physical Society, Gerhard Ertl Young Investigator Award of the German Physical Society, Dirac Medal from the World Association of Theoretical and Computational Chemists (WATOC), van der Waals prize of the international conference on non-covalent interactions (ICNI), and five flagship grants from the European Research Council (ERC): a Starting Grant in 2011, a Consolidator Grant in 2017, an Advanced Grant in 2022, and Proof-of-Concept Grants in 2020 and 2023. He is also a co-founder of Quastify GmbH – a start-up that combines quantum and statistical mechanics with machine learning for efficiently exploring chemical spaces.
