Generate a tailored SOP for Dr. Jarvist Frost. Improve your application with a focused, well-structured draft.
I’m an electronic structure theorist specializing in writing bespoke computer code to build models that represent messy, disordered materials. These materials are often more difficult to simulate than perfect crystals, where symmetry usually provides predictive power. My work involves a blend of statistical physics, encompassing all atoms in motion, and quantum mechanics, involving the dynamic behavior of electrons. The goals of my research are aimed at aiding the design of materials for the future. Currently, my main research areas include photovoltaics, which convert sunlight into electricity; energy storage solutions like batteries for sustainable energy during non-sunny or non-windy periods; and drug development, focusing particularly on commercially neglected areas in chemotherapy and antibacterials.
