Materials Science & Engineering Ph.D. Candidate Navid Marchin and his advisor, Dr. Jincheng Du were recently featured on the Texas Advanced Computer Center News for their research.

The article explores the challenges that have limited scientists' ability to reliably design and optimize phosphate-based glass materials to use in high-tech areas, from biomedical devices and high-power lasers to waste storage and specialty coatings.

It highlights UNT research on developing a classical potential to model sodium aluminophosphate glasses by adding a three-body term to the existing effective two-body potentials, using molecular dynamics (MD) simulations to improve structural accuracy.

To learn more about Marchin and Du's research using atomistic simulations, read the article on TACC News.
