Carlos Mejuto-Zaera is a theorist interested in correlated electrons in solids and molecules. His research combines ideas from condensed-matter physics and computational chemistry to investigate models as well as first-principles descriptions of materials. This has included diagrammatic expansions for predicting photoemission spectra, quantum subspace expansion algorithms for potential energy surface sampling, and a strong focus on embedding frameworks for strong correlation. He concluded his doctoral studies at the University of California, Berkeley, in 2021, after which he completed postdoctoral stays at the University of California, Santa Barbara, and the International School for Advanced Studies (SISSA), Italy. In February 2025, he will join the Theoretical Physics Laboratory (LPT) in Toulouse, France, as a staff researcher.
