Anton Van der Ven's research interests include understanding and predicting equilibrium and non-equilibrium materials properties from first-principles.
He combines electronic structure methods (density functional theory) with techniques from statistical mechanics to calculate thermodynamic and kinetic properties of new materials, including oxides and structures of assembled nano-particles for battery and fuel cell components, metallic alloys, alloy surfaces for catalysis and organic electronic materials.
