Postdoctoral Scholar, Photon Science, SLAC
BioDr. Evangelista's primary research focus lies in computational modeling and theoretical analysis of semiconductor materials using advanced quantum mechanical methods, including Density Functional Theory, Quantum Monte Carlo, and ab-initio Molecular Dynamics. Evangelista investigates the electronic, structural, and mechanical properties of materials, collaborating closely with experimental groups to bridge theoretical predictions with empirical results. He is also interested in the development of empirical potentials and enhancing materials modeling through the application of machine learning techniques.
Evangelista entered the Department of Materials Science and Engineering at the University of Delaware as a Ph.D. candidate in 2018, after completing an master degree in Physics 2016-2018 at Federal Fluminense University (Brazil). Recent work includes collaborations with experimental groups to bridge theoretical predictions with empirical results, as well as applying machine learning to creating of empirical potentials to accelerate materials modeling. Evangelista has also contributed to understanding electron mobility in metal-oxide semiconductors and strain effects in two-dimensional materials. These studies showcase his expertise in electronic structure and materials design for next-generation semiconductor technologies.
