Computational Physics

Mississippi State University is currently building an active group in computational physics. The new Head of Physics and Astronomy, Prof. Mark A. Novotny, and several new hires in the physics department will be in this group.

Novotny research interests are computational materials science and condensed matter physics. In particular, computational statistical mechanics and its application to materials science and magnetism related to magnetic materials, devices, and magnetic recording. An additional interest is in algorithmic development for computational problems in materials science and magnetism. Web graphics and movies and JAVA-scripts supporting research in magnetism and electrochemistry.
