Dr. Levente Vitos is a research fellow at the Research Institute for Solid State Physics and Optics, Budapest and is currently on attachment in Sweden (80% at KTH; 20% at Uppsala). He has published approximately fifty papers in metallurgy and applied quantum mechanics, many of which have appeared in the most prestigious journals in materials and applied physics, including, as the lead author, papers in Nature Materials and Physics Review Letters. Dr. Vitos is considered a world expert on the application of the LMTO quantum mechanical method and its application in materials systems and the he is the creator of the new EMTO-CPA method. These methods represent the first useful applications of modern applied quantum mechanics that can be used practically in the industrial world of metallurgy and alloy design to model and create novel materials.
