Computer Cluster for Materials Research and Education
Abstract
This proposal requests support for expanding and strengthening the computational facility of the W.M. Keck Computational Materials Theory Center (CMTC) at California State University Northridge (CSUN), a Hispanic-serving institution. The general goals of the CMTC are to: (1) foster multidisciplinary and innovative research in computational materials science; (2) educate and train students in cutting-edge computational materials research; and (3) stimulate and develop strong industrial-university-national laboratory partnerships in computational materials research. The requested computer cluster will expand the research and education in computational materials science of a significant number of undergraduates, graduate students, and postdoctoral scholars (including those from underrepresented groups) under the auspices of the CMTC. We will continue our minority recruitment efforts through various programs and partnership agreements to support research experiences for minority students. The RTs will be integrated into both an undergraduate course in computational materials science and a graduate course in solid state physics. The CMTC will continue providing interdisciplinary training for the next generation of materials scientists, including students from underrepresented groups, and offering opportunities for high-school. Two teachers and their students, via the annual NSF funded teacherÕs camp, to learn about materials science.
