Computational Chemistry/Physics/Nano-Materials Science

Research activities in my group include computational and theoretical studies of liquids, solids, thin films, interfaces, nanotubes, and nano-clusters. We are also interested in computational nanotribology and modeling of atomic force microscopy (AFM). Research tools include Monte Carlo and molecular dynamics computer simulation, density-functional theory and ab initio quantum calculations.

We use Linux (Redhat) Beowulf clusters of AMD Athlon 64 x2, AMD Opteron and Intel Core 2 Quad and Xeon workstations.
