| We are a computational research group in the Department of Chemistry at Western Washington University, focusing on the electronic structure of inorganic materials for energy applications. By harnessing the power of a variety of first-principles and semi-empirical methods, and viewing results through the lens of chemical intuition, we aim to understand, predict, and control the structural and electronic properties of these materials.
Rob joined the department in the fall of 2013, and has enjoyed his time teaching and doing research with undergraduate and master’s students. If you are a WWU student with interests in chemistry, physics, materials science, computing, or a combination thereof, feel free to contact Robert.Berger@wwu.edu to discuss current research opportunities. |
