Good
Professor Nelson's lectures are amazing. He's good at answering students' questions too. The workday system works perfectly, in my experience.

Nelson, Ph.D
Rexburg, Idaho
Highly motivated materials scientist seeking opportunities in computational materials research.
Postdoctoral researcher
Developed a kinetic Monte Carlo code for modeling diffusion in Ni-Al. The code was designed to interface with a cluster expansion code.
Research Assistant
Developed cluster expansion code for modeling the energetics of alloy systems confined to a lattice. Incorporated Bayesian compressive sensing into the cluster expansion model which resulted in better models constructed in much less time than the previous state-of-the-art. Worked extensively with Monte-Carlo simulations including thermodynamic Monte-Carlo on a fixed lattice, metadynamics for retrieving the free energy function, and wang-landau which retrieves the entropy of an alloy. Also collaborated on an effort to developed a high throughput database of materials properties information from first principles calculations.
Physics tutor
Conducted one on one tutoring sessions as well as group meetings.
