Marivi Fernández-Serra

Marivi Fernández-Serra is a professor in the Physics and Astronomy Department and the Institute for Advanced Computational Sciences at Stony Brook University, New York. Her research focuses on developing and applying electronic structure methods based on density-functional theory. She is interested on understanding properties of water that require a quantum-mechanical description of the underlying atomic interactions. These include the study of the interface between water and light-absorbing materials for energy applications. She received her PhD from the University of Cambridge, UK, in 2005 and has been a Fellow of the American Physical Society since 2020.
