( https://orcid.org/my-orcid?orcid=0000-0002-6909-0716 ) My main interest is in understanding material organization in complex oxides and nanostructured materials, through experiments and computational modeling at the atomic and mesoscopic scale. I am particularly interested in non-equilibrium processes, charge and spin correlations, effects of defect accumulation, and radiation effects on the behavior of oxide systems. Functional materials exhibiting strict long-range order have been well understood and characterized for nearly a century. In contrast, the description of disordered materials remains complex: there are no widely applicable methods to assess features resulting from the competition between long- and short-range orders; properties like electron localization are entangled with these features. The main systems studied are actinide, lanthanide, and transition metal oxides, as well as systems where different short- and long-range orders compete, leading to disordered or non-equilibrium structures. This competition can be intrinsic or externally enhanced by a perturbation of the system such as radiation or applied stress.
