Research Interest:
- Computational materials physics. The types of methods I use include:
- Atomistic simulation on short timescales (molecular dynamics)
- Atomistic simulations on long timescales (accelerated dynamics)
- Mesoscale simulations
- Classical force-field development, based on empirical data and quantum mechanics
- These simulations apply to materials such as:
- Metals and alloys
- Cements
- Oxides
