Dr. Jacob Gayles is an assistant Professor at the University of South Florida and the leader of the team focusing on chirality in materials.
We collaborate with world class experimentalist and theorist here at USF and around the world.
We use Density functional Theory to predict and understand the properties of complex materials.
We study the magnetic interactions that lead to exotic structures.
We study the transport of electrons (+spin) due to external pertuabtions for the effect on the electrons and on the material.
We build interfaces between distinct materials to develop novel properties.
We use state of the art computational techniques to model real materials.
We connect our understaing with simple models and experiements for novel science.
