Bryan M. Wong, Ph.D.
Materials Chemistry Department, Sandia National Laboratories Nanoelectronics and Nanophotonics Group, Sandia National Laboratories
I am a senior member of the technical staff in the Materials Chemistry Department at Sandia National Laboratories. I am also a member of Sandia's Nanoelectronics and Nanophotonics Group. My current research interests include time-dependent density functional theory for photovoltaic materials, electronic properties of functionalized carbon nanotubes, quantum confinement effects in semiconductor nanowires, first-principles calculations for nanomaterials, and energy exchange from electron-scattering quantum calculations. I am listed in the Reviews in Computational Chemistry (Volume 27) as a researcher who "regularly publishes in journals that focus on computing at the molecular level." I received my Ph.D. in physical chemistry from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in 2007.
