Postdoctoral Researchers
Farahnaz Maleki
fmaleki at ucdavis.edu
Dr. Farahnaz Maleki received her PhD in inorganic and computational chemistry at Bu-Ali Sina University in Iran (2018). She worked as a post-doc at Milano Bicocca University in Italy (2019-2022). Her research activity mainly concerns first-principles simulations on weak interactions in small molecules, nature of bonds, the electronic structure and catalytic properties of oxide surfaces, as well as metal-oxide interfaces. Her current research focus is on phonon mode analysis of small molecule organic semiconductors.
