Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolMichiel Van Setten is a Principal Member of Technical Staff at imec and a multidisciplinary materials scientist with 12 years of experience applying DFT and beyond-DFT methods (GW/BSE) to solids, nanostructures, amorphous systems and molecules. He combines deep theoretical expertise in electronic-structure methods, high-throughput automation, and pseudopotential development with practical device-focused work on beyond-CMOS technologies, memory architectures, ALD and PVD process modeling. His track record includes contributions to GW benchmarking (GW100), high-throughput GW pipelines in ABINIT, and the PseudoDojo pseudopotential project, reflecting a rare mix of method development and materials engineering. Comfortable across Python, Fortran and a suite of ab initio codes (VASP, TURBOMOLE, ABINIT, CP2K, FHI-aims), he thrives at the interface of physics, chemistry, materials and data science and collaborates closely with experimental and device teams. Fluent in Dutch, English and German, he also brings an unusual background in logistics and project leadership from large cultural and orchestral productions, which informs his practical coordination of complex research programs.
