  I am a Professor of Electrical Engineering at Howard University in Washington

  DC. My research interests involve using high-performance massively parallel supercomputers and quantum mechanics to design and model new molecules and materials. During my career at Howard University

  I have been responsible

  either as a principal investigator or co-principal investigator

  in bringing to the university over ten million dollars worth of external funding from a number of external organizations

  including the National Science Foundation (NSF)

  Department of Energy (DOE)

  Army Research Office (ARO)

  National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA)

  Office of Naval Research (ONR)

  W. M. Keck Foundation

  and the Boeing Corporation. I am currently a co-principal investigator on a five-year $20 million dollar NSF Science and Technology Center for Integrated Quantum Materials (CIQM

  http://ciqm.harvard.edu/) which was established in 2013. The mission of CIQM is to explore how atomically-thin two-dimensional quantum materials (e.g. graphene

  hexagonal boron nitride

  and molybdenum disulfide)

  topological insulators

  and NV centers in diamonds can be integrated to make new devices for communications and computing in the 21st century. This NSF CIQM team consists of scientists and educators from MIT

  Howard University

  Harvard University

  and the Museum of Science

  Boston

  as well as a network of colleges throughout the greater Boston and Washington

  D.C. areas. I also am a visiting scientist at the Center for Computational Materials Science
