Biography

Dr. Schelling received his PhD in Physics from University of Minnesota, Minneapolis, in 1999. He spent two years (1999-2001) as a Postdoctoral Researcher and two years (2001-2003) as a Visiting Scientist in Argonne National Laboratory, Argonne, IL before joining UCF in 2003 where he is an Associate Professor. He works in computational modeling of electron, mass, and heat transport in materials. He also computation to elucidate interactions and dissipation at interfaces with applications in materials science and planetary science.
