Simulational Physics

A diverse group of scientists in the Department conduct research in computational physics. Research interests and expertise in this group span a broad range of traditional physics subdisciplines, including astrophysics, atmospheric physics, atomic, molecular, and chemical physics, condensed matter physics, and statistical mechanics. People in this group are actively involved in both the development of state- of-the-art computational techniques as well as their application to cutting-edge problems in physics.
