Bio

Giulia Galli is the Liew Family Professor of Electronic Structure and Simulations in the Pritzker School of Molecular Engineering and the Department of Chemistry at the University of Chicago. She also holds a Senior Scientist position at Argonne National Laboratory, where she is the director of the Midwest Integrated Center for Computational Materials (http://miccom-center.org/). She is an expert in the development of theoretical and computational methods to predict and engineer material and molecular properties from first principles. Her research focuses on problems relevant to the development of sustainable energy sources and quantum technologies (https://galligroup.uchicago.edu/)

Abstract

We present theoretical and computational strategies based on quantum mechanical calculations, aimed at predicting materials with desired characteristics for quantum technologies. We discuss results for color centers in three- and two-dimensional semiconductors and insulators, obtained using both classical and near-term quantum computers.
