Since early 2003, I have worked in the area of the computational quantum mechanics of solids, with particular focus on the dynamical effects of nuclear motion and zero-point lattice vibration. This has extended over several grant projects, including (but not limited to)
* Sonus/PV (Photo-Voltaic) Highway Traffic Noise Barrier project. Started Jan. 2006. UOIT is the Lead Institution. This is a joint project between Faculty of Science at UOIT, Faculty of Electrical & Computer Engineering University of Toronto, and Ontario Centres of Excellence (OCE) Materials & Manufacturing Ontario (MMO).
* NSERC Discovery Grant project, Staebler-Wronski effect in Tritiated Amorphous Silicon.
Starting in the summer of 2009, I became involved in a research project in partnership with the Ontario Police College dealing with accurate simulation of blood-flight dynamics and blood-splatter pattern formation. I was brought on with the task of developing a predictive algorithm for tracing droplet flight trajectories as a function of blood-spatter patterns. This turned into an experimental project that generated quite a bit of news coverage, most notably from the Discovery Channel, The Toronto Star, Metroland News and Rogers First-Local… More information.
Specialties: Computational physics, solid state physics, quantum mechanics, blood spatter analysis, forensic physics
