Francis Paraan
Professor
Francis' research interests in condensed matter physics and statistical physics include entanglement in many-body systems and computational physics. In particular, he is interested in the relationship between entanglement entropy and the entropy of effective thermal models. He is also working with his students to develop low-cost high-performance computing capabilities in a heterogeneous cluster for small- and medium-scale materials modeling.
He joined SanD in 2012 and was its program coordinator from 2013 to 2017 and 2023 up to the present.
