Bio

Philip M. Dee is a Eugene P. Wigner Distinguished Staff Fellow working in the Computational Chemistry and Nanomaterials Sciences Group in the Computational Sciences and Engineering Division. He joined the lab in July 2024, following postdoctoral positions at the University of Florida and the University of Tennessee. He earned his Ph.D. in Physics in 2021 from the University of Tennessee, Knoxville. His research entails numerical studies of models of quantum materials with strongly correlated electrons, multi-orbital physics, and electron-phonon interactions. Philip uses various tools and approaches, including quantum Monte Carlo, self-consistent diagrammatic theories, and machine learning.
