About The Position

The visiting student will develop scale-free corrections to standard electromechanics simulations in 2D Materials. To this end, the student will perform atomistic calculations based on density functional theory and density functional perturbation theory of transition metal dichalcogenides and Group IV monochalcogenides. The student will use differential geometry and phase field methods to account for the geometric corrections of point and extended defects near the crumbling transitions. Student will leverage atomistic and mesoscale surrogates for the elastic and ferroic properties, including but not limited to equivariant models for the Born effective charges and interatomic forces.

Requirements
