TURNER RESEARCH GROUP

Material Growth Kinetics and Interfacial Phenomena: we are developing unique simulation approaches (combining molecular dynamics and kinetic mote carlo simulations) to model material growth and material properties at extended time scales. Due to the efficiency of our techniques, we are able to reach time scales many orders-of-magnitude beyond typical molecular simulation durations. This allows us to model many phenomena on realistic experimental times scales and benchmark our model predictions directly against experimental observables... Heath Turner Research Group at The University of Alabama located in Tuscaloosa, AL. We perform molecular simulations and statistical mechanics calculations, with a focus on computational catalysis, interfacial properties, and nanomaterial growth.
