Graduate Students
Eric Krebs
Eric began at Oregon State in the fall of 2010, and has been working on a classical density functional for water. He is currently improving our functional for water to benefit from Jeff's work on the hard-sphere distribution function at contact. He is also working on developing a functional based on Soft Fundamental Measure Theory for not-quite-hard spheres.
Jeff Schulte
Jeff has studied the inhomogeneous hard sphere fluid, and has developed a functional describing the likelihood of finding spheres in contact as a function of position. He is currently working on two different projects. One is a simulation of min-D oscillations in bacteria, and the other is a theory for the pair distribution function of the inhomogeneous hard-sphere fluid.
Undergraduate Students
Rene Zeto
Rene has been working with Jeff on modeling the min-D oscillations in E. Coli bacteria.
Paho Lurie-Gregg
Paho joined our group in the fall of 2012, and is performing simulations of the pair and triplet distribution function in the inhomogeneous hard sphere fluid. He is also working on performing Monte Carlo simulations of hard-polyhedron fluids.
Samuel Loomis
Sam began working with us in the Spring of 2013, and is working with Eric on Monte Carlo simulations of a soft sphere fluid.
Former graduate students
Denny Jackson
Denny got his Ph.D. in December 2011, with a dissertation on the development of an Ising-like model for understanding the dielectric properties of the barium titanate/bismuth zinc titanate relaxor ferroelectric solid solution.
Jess Hughes
Jess got a Masters degree in Physics, working on a classical density functional for modeling hydrophobic effects in water.
Jason Dagit
Jason got a Masters degree in Computer
Science, working on the patch theory of darcs and
ensuring its proper use via type witnesses.
Former undergraduate students
Patrick Kreitzberg
Patrick extended our Monte Carlo code to study the hard-sphere fluid in a variety of inhomogenous configurations, with a focus on the radial distribution function at contact. He went on to modify the Monte Carlo code to treat "soft" spheres, computing both the radial distribution function and the pressure.
Chris Haglund
Chris joined us during his sophomore year, and wrote a Monte Carlo code to simulate the hard sphere fluid and find the probability of contact.
