Opportunities are available to participate in developing transport models for a broad range of device applications including sensors and energy conversion systems. Transport processes refer to the exchange of charge, mass, energy, and momentum on multiple scales from macroscopic transport in bulk materials to quantum transport in low dimensional structures.  A wide scope of materials is studied: metals and semiconductors, molecular crystals and hybrid materials, polymers, and electrolyte fluids. 

We are seeking candidates with interest in the research of transport phenomena who will work with an interdisciplinary team of scientists to advance novel applications in catalysis, electrolysis, electronics, opto-electronics, and photonics. Skills in the computational methods of one or more of the following would be helpful: electronic-structure modeling, electromagnetic simulation, molecular mechanics, and fluid dynamics. These skills can be acquired during the fellowship if necessary. Prior experience with machine learning algorithms is also a plus.
