I am looking for a student in Applied Math who would be interested in working on Atomistic Simulation methods, primarily involving Molecular Dynamics/Monte Carlo hybrid methods. The goal is to understand the dynamics of Aerosol nanoparticles. The application area are two fold, and the student can pick which application area he/she would like to focus on. One is aerosols relevant to the atmosphere and global climate change. The other application is nanoparticles employed in nanomedicine.

I would be happy to meet with students who might be interested, to give more details and arrange for them to meet with my grad students and post-doc working on analogous problems.

Our group has a dedicated 98 CPU cluster purchased last year so computational resources are plentiful, and students will also have the opportunity to collaborate with the Computational Sciences group at NIST.

Thank you.
