Computational physics

The Physics Department at Wake Forest University has a strong program in computational and theoretical physics. The computational and theoretical efforts span from computational biophysics to theoretical gravitational physics and computational condensed matter research. The following faculty is involved in computational and/or theoretical physics research:

• Paul Anderson: quantum field theory, black holes, cosmology
• Eric Carlson: phenomenology, astrophysics
• Greg Cook: computational astrophysics, gravitational physics, coalescence of compact binary systems, black holes
• Jacquelyn S. Fetrow: structure and function of biological macromolecules, computational biophysics, systems biology, drug discovery, molecular dynamics
• Natalie A. W. Holzwarth: electronic and structural properties of materials, density functional theory,
• William C. Kerr: statistical physics, soliton mechanisms underlying the dynamics of first- and second-order phase transitions
• G. Eric Matthews: electronic and structural properties of materials
• Freddie Salsbury: computational biophysics, chemical physics, biomolecular dynamics, drug discovery, molecular biophysics
