Welcome!
My name is Alejandro, and I'm a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Iceland, working in the group of Hannes Jónsson. My current research lies at the intersection of atomistic simulations, materials science, and high-performance computing.
I’m originally from Colombia, where I earned my B.Sc. and M.Sc. in Chemistry from the National University of Colombia. My early research focused on theoretical development of Coupled Cluster methods for exotic systems involving particles like positrons.
Later, I joined an international PhD program between the University of Bordeaux and the University of the Basque Country, where I studied surface interactions between N₂ molecules and tungsten surfaces using DFT and classical molecular dynamics. You can check out my thesis here!
Since 2019, I've been based in Iceland, where I have been working in a wide variety of projects that involve ab initio calculations, molecular dynamics, adaptive kinetic Monte Carlo (AKMC) simulations and code development and optimization. In addition to research, I'm part of the Icelandic Research e-Infrastructure (IREI) team, where I contribute with user support services for the Icelandic High Performance Computing Centre (IHPC) and participate in research outreach initiatives. You can check out some of my recent publications here!
Do you want to collaborate? Feel free to reach out — I’m always open to collaboration, new projects, and interesting conversations.
