TEACHING

This semester I teach PHYS 61: Introduction to Computational Physics.
In the Spring and Fall of 1997 I taught PHYS 25: General Physics II.
In the fall of 1994, 95, 96, 98 I taught PHYS 61: Introduction to Computational Physics.
Other courses I taught include PHYS 159, PHYS 271, and PHYS 272.

RESEARCH

A major part of my current research is on physical properties of fullerene molecular solids such as tex2html_wrap_inline151 and Carbon Nanotubes. These are a family of new materials exhibiting novel properties such as superconductivity, metal-insulator transition, giant magnetoresistance. Nanotubes are stiffer and tougher than diamond and can be used to build Sky-Elevataor. Our research concentrate on relation between structure and properties.
