The ELTE node of the TRILMAX EU consortium made a strong impression at the DPG Conference in Regensburg, Germany, in March 2025. PhD students Dániel Pozsár and András Balogh attended on behalf of the team, showcasing their latest research. András displayed a poster on large-scale modeling of multilayer graphene using a versatile ab-initio based tight-binding model, blending theoretical insights with experimental comparisons to demonstrate its potential. The poster is available for download.

András also had a productive discussion with Aitor García-Ruiz, a leading expert in tight-binding and k.p modeling. They explored the prospect of a future collaboration focused on obtaining electronic Raman spectra for graphite materials. This conversation highlights TRILMAX’s role in fostering valuable networks and advancing material characterization techniques through collaborative opportunities.

Dániel Pozsár delivered an oral presentation on the recent developments of the in-house magnetic force theorem code, GROGU. His talk, supported by detailed slides attached here, emphasized significant computational advancements, capturing the interest of attendees. Additionally, Dániel engaged with Prof. Jaroslav Fabian’s team, discussing a potential collaboration on 2D magnetic materials. These interactions not only showcased ELTE’s innovative contributions but also reinforced the TRILMAX consortium’s growing influence in materials science research.
