Thomas P. Devereaux

Professor Devereaux is a professor of Materials Science and Engineering at Stanford University, a professor in the Photon Science Faculty at SLAC and Stanford University, a Senior Fellow of the Precourt Institute for Energy, and the former director of the Stanford Institute for Materials and Energy Sciences (SIMES, the Materials Science Division at SLAC),. His main research interests lie in the areas of theoretical condensed matter physics and computational physics. His research efforts focus on using the tools of computational physics to understand quantum materials and how spectroscopies can be used to fingerprint the influence of multiple degrees of freedom, interactions, and phases that lead to technologically relevant materials properties.

As the speed and cost of computing continues to improve, we are poised to tackle heretofore unaddressed problems, with the goal of understanding electron dynamics via a combination of analytical theory and numerical simulations to provide insight into materials of relevance to energy science.
