Computational Materials Many-Body PhysicsBiography
Adam Denchfield is a postdoctoral researcher who earned his Ph.D. in Physics at University of Illinois-Chicago. His Ph.D. advisors were Hyowon Park and Russell J. Hemley.
Adam is a computational materials scientist with an interest in many-body theory. He currently works on simulating phonon-assisted optical absorption and energetics of exciton-polaron excited states.
His past work includes studying the charge density waves in rare-earth tritellurides and the competition of structural distortions and superconductivity in doped rare-earth trihydrides.
Other interests include GPGPU programming, foundations of density functional theory, exactly solvable models in many-body theory, and hyperasymptotics.
