What can you do? What are the research opportunities? What is it? Why is it important? New Option: Computational Physics Dr. Jie Zou
What is Computational Physics? • To use computers as tools to solve physics problems, usually too complicated to be solved by other means. Guang-Yu Guo, “Density Functional Theory and Computational Methods”, Part 2 of NCTS CMR Summer Course 2003 Dr. Jie Zou
Why is Computational Physics Important? Rubin Landau, “Computing in Science and Engineering”, September/October 2006. Dr. Jie Zou
What can you do as a student? Sample Student Computational Projects Dr. Jie Zou
What are the research opportunities? • Former and current research students. • Computer modeling and simulation of • Physical, • Chemical, • Biological, and • Engineering Systems Xavier Lange, Pre-engineering Chris Richardson, Physics Kara Lovelace, Physics Teacher Certification Scott Keller, Chemistry Daniel Rolando, Pre-engineering Dr. Jie Zou
