Basque Research Groups

The research groups listed below (information can be browse by selecting the Science Field and Area or by entering a keyword) are those that showed interest in attracting excellent researchers through Ikerbasque.

There are more groups that could potentially host a researcher.

(3)
Excited state dynamics and optical spectroscopy of biochromophores and other complex bio-structures and hybrids bio-nano-structures, molecular electronics 

Current and future Projects

Significant equipment or infrastructure of the Group:
Large local beowulf cluster (380 cores) and access to supercomputing facilities, i) the Spanish supercomputing network were the group has an average yearly allocation of about 4milliun hours; ii) the DIPC computer center which hosts computational resources for parallel computing (5 Tb of RAM distributed over 10 clusters and SMP machines, 24 Tb of mass storage, 2.000 cores and 5 Tflops) and iii) the high performance computing resources available at the FHI Theory Department partly located on-site and partly at the computing centre of the Max Planck Society in Garching (15 Tb of RAM distributed over 7 large clusters, with above 4000 cores and 25Tflops). The group already has access to petaflop computing through the PRACE machines as the code developed in the group, octopus, has been included in the PRACE benchmark suite. Internal training (european doctorates, schools, hands-on-workshop, international experimental collaborators).
