I have been at Iowa State since

summer 2006, after spending many

years in a variety of positions at Los

Alamos National Laboratory. The photos

all show various scenes from Ghost Ranch in northern New Mexico, one of my favorite places


My research has been varied over the years, spanning from molecular solids to metals and then back to molecular systems, as shown in my resume, which is available in the link to the right.


Current research topics:

  1. •simulation of dislocation structure and response for small-scale and nanotwinned materials

  2. •development of new information technologies for concurrent design


In addition to research, I have been active in creating new educational opportunities for students at Iowa State in the study of sustainable systems, including a study-abroad course in Africa.  My teaching activities include:


Teaching:

  1. • modeling and simulation of materials

  2. • sustainable engineering

  3. • globalization and sustainability

  4. • applied technology for the developing world
