Edward Linscott @elinscott.github.io · 21/07/2026New preprint out overnight! 🎉 We show that DFT+U+V is — to first order in V/U — DFT+U acting on hybridized, density-dependent (!) projectors: +V doesn't add new physics so much as change where the +U correction is applied 🥸 with Alberto Carta and Nicola Marzari arxiv.org/abs/2607.18071 020
Edward Linscott @elinscott.github.io · 12/06/2026What a fortnight! Today marks the end of the ICTP-MARVEL College on Materials Simulation in the Age of AI. Over the past two weeks, 200+ participants from 50+ countries were treated to... 210
Edward Linscott @elinscott.github.io · 17/11/2025Proud supervisor alert 🚨 My first PhD student, Marija Stojkovic, passed her PhD private defence! @materials-epfl.bsky.social 120
Edward Linscott @elinscott.github.io · 29/09/2025I have returned to Switzerland with a lot of new ideas (but also some resentment re: Swiss vs Spanish weather!) 100
Edward Linscott @elinscott.github.io · 29/09/2025I've just spent a week in #Gandia at a workshop on determining #Hubbard parameters. It was so nice to have so many people passionately engaging in this admittedly niche but important topic that increasingly underpins a lot of modern materials design and discovery. 111
Edward Linscott @elinscott.github.io · 27/08/2025Absolute pleasure to be back in Lausanne for Psi-k to give an invited talk — even if Nicola Marzari and Leeor Kronik stole a lot of my thunder with (excellent) plenary talks! If you're at Psi-k come along to Room 4 at 10:15 to find out more about our work on Koopmans functionals. 110
Edward Linscott @elinscott.github.io · 09/01/2025Kicking off the new year with a bang at the #ICTP Total Energy and Force Methods in Trieste 🎆 Lots of excellent talks and thought-provoking discussions, but it's a bit of shock to the system straight after the holidays! 120
Edward Linscott @elinscott.github.io · 20/12/2024🎁 Christmas has come early: new paper out & #openaccess in npj Computational Materials! We show how to predict electronic screening — dramatically lowering the barrier of using Koopmans functionals for disordered materials. Lots of exciting science now on the horizon! 111
Edward Linscott @elinscott.github.io · 07/11/2024A pleasure to be back in Lausanne at #CECAM for the workshop "Beyond ground state simulations: Navigating challenges in excited states of extended molecules and materials". After three days of talks and discussions it's fair to say that challenges abound! 100

Edward Linscott @elinscott.github.io · 25/06/2024Out today on #arXiv: some excellent work from Yannick Schubert showing that we can learn electronic screening for Koopmans very efficiently: minimal training required 🏋️, acceptable loss of accuracy relative to ab initio 🔍, and plenty of speed-up 🚀! See arxiv.org/abs/2406.15205 000
Edward Linscott @elinscott.github.io · 19/04/2024This week I attended the #EuSpecLab school on advanced spectroscopy at #PSI. After a week of wide-ranging lectures, this morning we were shown around PSI's phenomenal experimental facilities -- the first time I have seen them since starting here last November. 100
Edward Linscott @elinscott.github.io · 20/03/2024On Thursday (10:30, MA 043) I'll be giving a talk about our latest work trying to make Koopmans functional calculations robust and black-box using new tools such as automated Wannierisation. Come along to find out more! www.dpg-verhandlungen.de/year/2024/co... 000
