Background
- The group focuses on fundamental problems at the intersection of materials science, mechanics, and condensed matter physics. They use computation, modeling, and simulation to gain insight into the predictive relationships between structure and function, enabling materials discovery, design, and optimization. Their interests include materials for energy conversion and storage, thermoelectrics, solid oxide fuel and electrolysis cells, and wide band gap semiconductors for power electronics.
Miscellany
- The group is dedicated to providing a welcoming, respectful, and inclusive environment. They value strong relationships, mentoring, close collaboration, and diverse perspectives as they work towards creating a sustainable and healthy future through robust, transparent science.
