About This Website and Our Group

Welcome to our group!

Our goal with this website is to make the field of materials more intuitive and accessible to a wide array of students and scientists, overcoming barriers between fields, as well as to introduce you to our work.

This field is intrinsically interdisciplinary, and much of its potential lies at the intersection of chemistry, physics, materials science, and data science, and I welcome input and discussion on my work, so please email me if you are interested or have comments at georgesc (at) iu [dot] edu

Group Values

We strive to build a group where each mentee is allowed to be creative, driven by curiosity and kindness. Interactions with other groups, including across departments and institutions are highly encouraged.

Students joining the group can expect to be trained not just to perform cutting edge research, but also in ‘soft‘ skills, such as public speaking and networking.

About Alex (PI)

Alexandru B. Georgescu (Alex)

Alex has been faculty at Indiana University Bloomington since August 2023. The group’s research is computational & theoretical, particularly focused on materials (with a focus on what are recently called quantum materials), and is open to undergraduate and graduate students - regardless of previous computational work experience, as well as postdoctoral scholars with previous computational experience who are interested in growing a new group - and gaining experience in doing so. Students can expect an empathetic environment focused on individual growth, as well as community support.
