Students interested in joining our group are welcome to participate in the
group meet5Cings. Group meetings consist of a half hour long presentation
done by a student on their progress in addition to discussing methods and
publications related their research.

Graduate students who are interested in working in our group should first
familiarize themselves with the topics of
research. If you are having trouble finding related material, please
contact me so that I can point you towards some references. I'm also open
to proposals for research projects as long as they are reasonable. Some
knowledge in computation is desirable but not absolutely
necessary. However, it helps to at least have an interest.
In the way I'm envisioning conducting research, you will have one or two
projects at a time, which could be based on applications, developing code
or something analytical. I will be holding regular meetings with each
student in addition to being as available as possible during other
times.
Undergraduate Students
Interested undergraduates are invited and encouraged to participate in our
group's research activities. No prior knowledge in scientific computation
or solid state physics is necessary, although you should be aware that most
of my projects will involve working on a computer to a large
extent. General training will be provided within the group by myself and my
graduate students.
In order that I can assess the level of enthusiasm in the students and make
sure that they are able to carry out the research without a degradation in
academic success, I will ask you to go through a trial period. This period
will also help you assess whether you are ready to put in the effort
required.
You can apply year-round. Feel free to talk to my graduate students about
the research. If you are interested, please set up an appointment with me
by email.
