Miguel Caro

(miguelcaro.org) leads the Data-driven Atomistic Simulation group at the Department of Chemistry and Materials Science at Aalto University. He is interested in method and software development for machine-learning-based interatomic potentials (turbogap.fi), as well as using these new tools to understand the atomic structure and properties of carbon-based materials, metal nanocatalysts, materials for next-generation batteries and biomass conversion. Miguel, together with other PIs in the Otaniemi area, is currently trying to establish the Otaniemi Center for Atomic-scale Materials Modeling (OCAMM; ocamm.fi), an effort directed at strengthening materials simulation among research institutions in this region, and enabling its better integration with experimental research as well as industrial research and development.
