Scientific interest
Dr. Poberžnik is a researcher in the field of computational chemistry and materials science. His PhD thesis topic included the study of oxidation of the surfaces aluminum and their interaction with potential corrosion inhibitors. He is an expert in Density Functional Theory based modeling, specializing in the study of surface phenomena. Currently he is actively involved in the development of the pARTn plugin (https://gitlab.com/mammasmias/artn-plugin), which is a novel implementation of the Activation Relaxation Technique nouveau, a well established algorithm for exploring the critical points on potential energy surfaces. He is interested in scientific programming and in the development of free and open source scientific software. He is also actively involved in the MaX center of excellence (http://www.max-centre.eu/), which is aimed at developing the capabilities for software used in materials science modelling to fully exploit modern hpc architectures. He recently aquired a project with the acronym AtlAS within the Public call for co-financing research of research projects in 2023 of the Slovenian Research Agency, which concerns the development of a general off-lattice kinetic Monte Carlo computational framework
