Research Group

Name Interests

Dr. Bruce Eichinger
  Research Professor

Computing optical properties for organic non-linear optical materials.

David Rangel
  Postdoctoral Fellow

David is developing methods to compute EPR and NMR spectra for labeled biomolecules. The methods are a first principles calculations which require only dynamics from the system and have no assumptions about line widths or other ad hoc parameters often used in magnetic resonance simulations. The dynamics are generated by Monte Carlo based Brownian and molecular dynamics trajectories.

Alyssa Smith
  Graduate Student

EPR and Dynamics of RNA and DNA.

Lewis Johnson
  Graduate Student

Lewis will work on the statistical mechanical problems of packing the ONLO chromophores (made by the Dalton and Jen groups) into highly concentrated condensed materials. He will be using Monte Carlo and Molecular Dynamics methods to determine the optimum order of the chromophores under experimental conditions.
