I am a computational physicist. I enjoy teaching physics. I received my Ph.D. in Computational Condensed Matter Physics from the Dept. of Physics, University of Cincinnati under Professor Mark Jarrell.
I am fascinated by the complex phenomena that emerges in strongly correlated electron systems, such as high temperature superconductivity. In these systems, kinetic and potential energies compete each other. Therefore non-purturbative techniques are necessary to study these systems. I use recently introduced Dynamical Cluster Quantum Monte Carlo Approximation (DCA-QMC); a non-purturbative technique, to study strongly correlated quasi 1D and 2D electron systems. DCA is an extension to the Dynamical Mean Field Approximation (DMFA). I direct you to Mark's discussion pages about DMFA and DCA for further information about DMFT and DCA. I am interested in the application of information theoretical technique (information entropy, Shannon, Jaynes) "Maximum Entropy" (MaxEnt) method for solving inverse problems. I am particularly interested in applications of MaxEnt method in physics and medical imaging.
I am also interested in physics education research and a believer in interactive teaching methods for teaching introductory physics. I follow teaching methods introduced by PER community as necessary in my introductory physics classes at GSU.
