University of Central Florida awarded 2025 Chapter Research Award.
Zone and Chapter: University of Central Florida, Zone 6
Project
Project Name: Density Functional Theory Calculations for van der Waals Material Candidate
Project Leaders: Zakaria El-Helw
Chapter Advisors: Aniket Bhattacharya
Project Description: At the University of Central Florida, the characterization of quantum materials is a prominent research field. Before physical experiments are performed, Density Functional Theory is applied to understand their band structure. We seek to build a computer to handle DFT simulations to independently study MoPS3, a Transition Metal Phosphorous Trichalcogenide.
