MEET THE TEAM
The Computational Research Access NEtwork (CRANE) team is comprised of computational physicists and chemists from across the nation who were brought together by a collective passion for teaching and mentorship. Their expertise spans a diverse range of topics, from modeling molecular dynamics to understanding fluid flow in astrophysical plasmas. Although the seminar was initially conceived as a training program for undergraduate researchers in plasma physics, the teaching team has expanded the curriculum to cover computational methods used in their own fields of expertise.
