Dynamic Atomistic Predictions of Crystalline, Crystal Defect and Liquid Metal Properties

Due: May 1, 2025

Description

Classical interatomic potentials provide a means of linking atomic interactions to larger scale dynamic materials properties. A primary challenge with these investigations is that the predicted results are often extremely sensitive to the choice of interatomic potential. This research will focus on performing high throughput calculations to explore dynamic property predictions across interatomic potentials, temperatures, and atomic configurations. An understanding of statistical analysis is important for processing the time serie...

Grantor Contact InformationLucas Michael Hale, phone: 301.975.5122Grantor Emaillucas.hale@nist.govOther Grantor InformationThe NRC Research Associateship Programs (RAP) are prestigious postdoctoral and senior research awards designed to provide promising scientists and engineers with high-quality research opportunities at federal laboratories and affiliated institutions. Conducted by the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine's Fellowships Office since 1954, these programs offer a comprehensive research experience through a rigorous selection process. The programs aim to: 1) Offer promising postdoctoral and senior scientists/engineers the chance to pursue self-directed research aligned with sponsoring laboratories' goals, 2) Enhance comprehensive research efforts of participating laboratories, 3) Provide recent doctoral graduates a platform for focused research collaboration with permanent laboratory staff, and 4) Foster professional growth by providing opportunities to gain skills, experience, and connections with leading scientists, ultimately enhancing career prospects in academia, industry, or government research roles. The programs provide mentorship, access to state-of-the-art facilities, and opportunities to influence government policy.
