Area of Interest
Density functional calculations for accurate description of material structure and properties at the microscopic level; applications to semiconductor nanostructures; nanostructure growth; metals and magnetic materials possible if interesting project is proposed.

Resources
My group has local computers for graphics/analysis; time at national and international supercomputing sites for heavy-duty calculations.

Collaboration Interests:
A research institution such as the Fritz-Haber-Institut der Max-Planck-Gesellschaft, which has excellent support of the computing environment and a critical mass of researchers involved in using first-principles computational methods to understand a wide array of problems important in nanotechnology, has been very helpful for me during four recent summers and my two most recent sabbaticals. In order to recruit and adequately train high quality students pursuing computational physics graduate degrees, I need to provide long-term involvement for them in such a vibrant, interdisciplinary computational community - putting my students in contact with the wider community of researchers based at other institutions cannot take the place of their daily participation in such a community at WSU.
