Sabbatical at Sapienza University of Rome

In September I started a sabbatical leave during which I will be at Dipartimento di Fisica of Sapienza Università di Roma. A sabbatical period is an extraordinary opportunity to focus on novel challenging issues while visiting a new institute, and experiencing a new academic atmosphere, free of heavy teaching and administrative duties. For the next 12 months I will be working in the quantum theory of materials group, hosted by Francesco Mauri, focusing on thermal transport in novel materials.
