A postdoc position is available at the NSF-KDI center, University of
Florida. The responsibility associated with this position is to develop and
implement DFT method and DFT based molecular dynamics to study
chemical-mechanical processes such as chemical reaction dynamics at tip of
cracks in materials, chemical reaction dynamics at surface in chemical-
mechanical polishing process, and stress corrosion in metals. The focus of this
position is electronic structure and dynamics at surfaces using both finite
cluster model and band structure calculation approach, using classical as well
as DFT based first principle simulations. The overall project of KDI center is
on multi-scale simulation of materials behavior including chemical reactivities.
The goal is to develop a theoretical framework that integrate
quantum-chemistry/DFT/semi-empirical-approaches/classical-MD to study material
properties and processes at various spatial and temporal scale.
