Materials Science & Energy Research
KROOT is a physics research lab. We apply computational modeling, simulation, and analysis to materials science and energy systems problems.
Materials Science
Computational modeling of material behavior from atomic structure to component service life. We combine density functional theory, molecular dynamics, and finite element methods to predict performance, degradation, and failure.
Learn moreEnergy Systems
Thermoelectric materials design and waste heat recovery systems for mining and industrial operations. We apply density functional theory, Boltzmann transport theory, and phonon engineering to design materials that convert heat directly into electricity.
