Vincent Meunier

Affiliate Researcher
Titles and Affiliations
Professor, Engineering Science and Mechanics

Meunier leads the Innovative Computational Material Physics (ICMP) group where he performs research in low-dimensional materials and domains where he collaboratively works with engineers and experimentalists to optimize these materials, starting at the atomic level and targeting functionality. He has contributed to an array of computational materials science topics including electronic transport, vibrational properties, energy storage in supercapacitors, the physics of reduced dimensional materials such as carbon nanotubes and nanoribbons, and two-dimensional materials.
