my name: Colby Dennis
the city and country from where I take this course: Lubbock, Tx, USA at Texas Tech University
one reason why you should visit my city at least once in your life : Watch a dust head your way for two hours and still get knocked over by wind.
my background (education, job, interests,…) : PhD student in condensed matter physics
this is what I expect from this course: Learn how to use DFT to extract useful information for first-principle calculations
this is the longer term goal in my life to which I expect this course will contribute : Obtain a research position at either a national lab or university for condensed matter physics.
