James Chelikowsky

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

James Robert Chelikowsky (born June 1, 1948 in Manhattan (Kansas) ) is an American physicist.

Chelikowsky graduated from Kansas State University with a bachelor's degree in physics in 1970 and received his PhD in 1975 from the University of California, Berkeley . From 1976 to 1978 he was at Bell Laboratories in Murray Hill and from 1978 to 1980 Assistant Professor at the University of Oregon. From 1980 to 1987 he was with Exxon Research. He was also a professor at the University of Minnesota from 1987 . He is WA Tex Moncrief Jr. Professor of Computational Materials at the University of Texas at Austin .

He worked on algorithms for high-performance computers for the prediction of material properties, including optical properties, surface properties of semiconductors and metals, nanostructures, liquid microstructures and clusters, electronic structure of solids.

In 2013 he received the Aneesur Rahman Prize for computer applications of quantum theories to understand and predict material properties (laudation). He is a Fellow of the American Physical Society and the American Association for the Advancement of Science . In 1996 he was a Guggenheim Fellow.
