John Shumway's Research

I am a postdoc with Alex Zunger's Solid State Theory group at NREL. I recently completed my Ph.D. in David Ceperley's Condensed Matter Theory group in NCSA and the Department of Physics at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (UIUC).

Note: I arrived at NREL on Sept. 20th, 1999, and some links will be broken this first month as I'm moving my page from NCSA.
