August 11, 2017 - In the recent Nano Letters article, Prof. Nikolic, postdoctral fellow Dr. Kapildeb Dolui, visiting graduate student Juan Manuel Marmolejo-Tejada from Colombia and DPA alumni Dr. Po-Hao Chang, together with collaborators from Denmark and Croatia, have developed new computational approach offering a unique microscopic insight into quantum states of charge and spin at  topological-insulator/ferromagnetic-metal (TI/FM) interfaces.

 The University of Delaware, Department of Physics & Astronomy invites applications for a Postdoctoral Researcher position beginning as early as September 1, 2017. Under the direction of Professor Edward Lyman, the Postdoctoral Researcher will engage in research that advances computational approaches to therapies targeting G-protein coupled receptors (GPCRs). The salary for this position is provided by the NIH. The goal of the project is to determine the mechanism(s) by which the lipid environment modulates GPCR function.
