Novel materials or compounds are a key for future technological innovations and hold great potential for new applications. To assess the functionality of such materials, experiments are essential but simulations on realistic models (which include relevant interactions and target realistic sample sizes) can bring much deeper insight. In particular, describing charge transport is a central task for materials theory aiming at a comprehensive understanding of basic properties of novel materials. This includes particularly the interaction with different types of disorder which is always present. I will present recent results from efficient order-N electronic transport approaches developed to tackle with complex materials subject to different kinds of disorder and interactions, including ordinary longitudinal transport, magneto-transport, Hall transport, and polaron transport which are observed experimentally in inorganic and/or organic materials.
