Henry Andres Cortes Paez

I am a physicist with extensive experience in multiscale modeling methods and numerical techniques, focusing on energy materials. My research primarily involves the simulation of materials for energy storage applications, aiming to enhance the performance and efficiency of these technologies.

I earned my PhD in Science and Technology with a specialization in Physics from the National University of General San Martín (UNSAM) in Argentina. My doctoral research was conducted at the Condensed Matter Department of the National Atomic Energy Commission (CNEA). Following my PhD, I completed a postdoctoral fellowship at the Institute of Chemistry, Materials Physics, Environment, and Energy (INQUIMAE) at the University of Buenos Aires.

Since 2021, I have been a member of the Modeling and Simulation in Life and Material Sciences (MSLMS) group  of Ikerbasque Prof. Elena Akhmatskaya at the Basque Center for Applied Mathematics (BCAM), where I hold a Severo Ochoa postdoctoral research position. My work at BCAM includes developing force fields, creating post-processing tools, and performing large-scale atomistic simulations of electrolytes for Li-ion batteries.
