Feliciano Giustino is Professor of Physics at the University of Texas, Austin, and holds the Moncrief Chair in Quantum Materials Engineering. He earned his Ph.D. in Physics at the Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL), Switzerland, and held a post-doctoral appointment at the University of California, Berkeley. Prior to joining the University of Texas, he spent over a decade at the University of Oxford as Professor of Materials Science, and one year at Cornell University as the Mary Shepard B. Upson Visiting Professor in Engineering. He is a Fellow of the American Physical Society and a Clarivate Analytics Highly Cited Researcher, the recipient of a Leverhulme Research Leadership Award, a Moncrief Grand Challenge Award, and a Guggenheim Fellow in Physics in the Centennial Class. He serves on the Executive Editorial Board of JPhys Materials and is an Associate Editor of the Journal of Computational Electronics. He specializes in electronic structure theory, high-performance computing, and the quantum design of advanced materials at the atomic scale. He is the author of 180+ scientific publications and one book on density-functional theory by Oxford University Press. He initiated the open-source software project EPW, which is regularly used by research groups around the world.
