Dr. Sanjay Prabhakar:<\/strong> Dr. Prabhakar’s research using CIMUSE clusters focuses on applying condensed matter theory to the design and development of qubit devices based on solid-state quantum dots and two-dimensional (2D) materials. He employs continuum modeling using the Finite Element Method (FEM) in COMSOL Multiphysics, performs density functional theory (DFT) simulations with Quantum ESPRESSO, and develops MATLAB and Python code for post-processing and data analysis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dr. Himadri Chakraborty:<\/strong> Dr. Chakraborty\u2019s research on the CIMUSE cluster will use electron-phonon-coupled nonadiabatic simulation techniques, at the DFT level or beyond, to investigate femto- and picosecond<\/em> dynamical processes in molecules. The target processes will involve charge transfer, excitonic decay, plasmon-exciton coupling, Jahn-Teller (J-T) distortion, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dr. Luke Monroe:<\/strong> Dr. Monroe uses computer models to explore chemical interactions in the atmosphere and the regional transport and environmental impacts of these chemical constituents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dr. Joel D. Leal-Gutierrez:<\/strong> Dr. Leal-Gutierrez\u2019s research focuses on understanding the genetic architecture of complex phenotypes. To this end, his laboratory applies biotechnological tools such as DNA and RNA sequencing, Genome-Wide Association (GWA) analysis, and deep phenotyping approaches. Dr. Leal-Gutierrez\u2019s research focuses on small ruminants, including sheep and goats; however, other species are also under consideration. \u200bTwo different branches of research have been proposed for his laboratory, including: 1) Understanding the genetic architecture of phenotypes of economic interest in farm animals, and 2) Identifying the role that the exposome has on complex phenotypes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
