Federico Civaia is a PhD student in theoretical chemistry at the Fritz Haber Institute, Max Planck Society in Berlin. His research focuses on first-principles simulation of solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance (SS‑NMR) observables for energy materials such as lithium‑ion battery electrodes and solid electrolytes. Using density functional theory and machine learning interatomic potentials, he investigates quadrupolar coupling effects in materials containing Lithium-7 or Aluminum-27 isotopes. In 2023, he participated in the prestigious CECAM/Psi‑k ML‑IP Flagship School. Federico combines computational physics, materials science, and molecular dynamics to advance predictive tools for characterizing high-performance materials.
