My professorship is in the Computational and Data Science Department, in the Department of Physics and Astronomy , and in the Department of Chemistry and I am the director of the Computational Materials Science Center, all of them part of the College of Science.

Among other activities, I was a 1982-83 Fulbright Fellow at Stanford University during my first sabbatical and visiting professor for the period 1989-1992 at Johns Hopkins University holding a National Science Foundation visiting professorship. I joined Mason in 1992 and since then I have consolidated a group of collaborators and students working in computational simulations in condensed matter, quantum chemistry and nanomaterials.

Presently I am part of the Editorial Boards of the Journal of Computational and Theoretical Nanoscience, Computing Letters and the ICCMSE new journals. I am a Fellow of the American Physical Society, and recently served as member of the Executive Committee of its Division of Computational Physics (2001-2004) and as member of the APS Committee on International Scientific Affairs (2002-2004).


My research interests include large scale simulations in condensed matter physics and materials science, dynamical systems, computational statistical mechanics, many-body theory, and applications of quantum chemistry to nanoscience.
