The research group of Prof. Lilia M. Woods has an opening for Fall 2024 for a PhD student pursuing studies in theoretical and computational condensed matter physics. Prof. Woods’ group is involved in a variety of cutting-edge problems including ab initio simulations methods for materials properties and transport processes, thermoelectricity, dispersive interactions, and device development. Our group work works with several experimental and computational collaborators to solve problems at the boundary of quantum mechanics, electrodynamics, and materials science with important technological applications. We are looking for a motivated student who will be a great addition to our vibrant group and will take full advantage of the interdisciplinary possibilities for future career development. The University of South Florida is located in the urban Tampa Bay area, and it has a dynamic Applied Physics Department with a diverse group of graduate students.
