Research Description

---

My research interests center around the theme of computational condensed matter physics and materials science. I split my time approximately evenly between the development of computational methods and the application of them to outstanding or novel materials problems. Details about this work and the research group that I lead to accomplish it can be found at the computational physics group's web site (https://info.umkc.edu/cpg/) and the electronic structure group's web site (https://info.umkc.edu/ching-esg/). In addition to my primary materials science interests I have a host of secondary interests that run the gamut of 3D printing, complexity modeling, and the development of methods for non-traditional science education among others.

I'd like to work with this faculty member. What should I do next? Now that UR-Linked has helped you to identify a faculty member whose interests align with your interests, be sure to review the essential steps in contacting a potential faculty mentor.

The Director of Undergraduate Research, Dr. Jane Greer., can provide you with further guidance about finding and connecting with faculty mentors at UMKC.

Once you have reviewed the essential steps to prepare for connecting with a potential faculty mentor, you can use the "Contact Details" for this project to connect with the faculty member and to begin a conversation about how you might work with that him or her.
