Supervisor: Mark Jarrell

Dr. Bhupender Thakur obtained his Ph.D. from the University of Delaware in theoretical and computational nuclear physics. Dr. Thakur's general research interests include nuclear structure theory, quantum many-body systems in general and numerical and scientific computing. He is also interested in approximations including Density Matrix Renormalization Group, Quantum Monte Carlo, stochastic methods, and other variational and perturbative approaches. His computational effort is directed at parallel programming paradigms: scalable MPI, OpenMP and CUDA implementations and numerical linear algebra. Other recent interests include silmulations of bio materials and force field methodologies.
