PAMS Seminar: Dr. Paul Rulis to speak on the challenges and prospects of modeling boron

 “Boron, from elemental crystal to amorphous molecular solid: Challenges and prospects for theoretical modeling" will be presented by guest seminar speaker Dr. Paul Rulis, Associate Professor, UMKC.  All those interested are welcome to attend.

Paul Rulis’ primary area of research interest center around the theme of computational condensed matter physics. He splits his time approximately evenly between the development of computational methods and the application of them to outstanding or novel materials problems. His research group develops the orthogonalized linear combination of atomic orbitals (OLCAO) density functional theory based method for computing the electronic structure, bonding, and spectroscopic properties of solids. His recent research efforts focus on modeling the atomic structure of amorphous molecular solids and understanding their electronic structure.
