Excitons are neutral quasiparticles that are formed in semiconductors and insulators upon absorption of photons. Their formation, diffusion, lifetime, and recombination are key for understanding light-conversion processes and designing materials for tailored applications, such as photovoltaics, sensing, lighting, and quantum computing. Metal-halide perovskites are a structurally and chemically diverse class of materials that have been explored in all these application areas.

In this presentation, I will discuss our recent efforts to use first-principles numerical simulation techniques for modelling the formation of excitons in metal-halide perovskites and provide design rules for bespoke material properties. Our calculations allow us to map the complex landscape of electronic properties and excitons, understand the impact of chemical heterogeneity [1 - 4], dimensionality [5 -7] and temperature effects [7], and provide chemically intuitive rules for when to trust canonical models for excitons in these materials.
