Computational methods may be used to aid our understanding of a wide variety of materials problems. Our group uses techniques ranging from first principles calculations of atomic structure to continuum theories. Our recent studies have concentrated on studying the following areas:

Thin Film Growth
Theories of deformation
Equilibrium structures of defects
Nanocrystal Thermodynamics
