Clayborne Research Group

The Clayborne Research Group is involved in a variety of research endeavors using computational approaches at Howard University. The overreaching goal is to develop materials of technological importance. Many of our systems reside in the nanometer or subnanometer regime. Many of our studies require various approaches such as DFT, TD-DFT, AIMD, and Monte Carlo. We … Read more Projects

To advance science and technology, a diverse community is paramount. Past and current group members include members from the United States of America as well as the International community. We aim to continually develop the next generation of researchers with particular emphasis on minority students. Professor Clayborne is the principal investigator and currently mentors … Read more Members

ABOUT US

The Clayborne Research Group joined the Department of Chemistry at Howard University in Fall 2017. Our goal is to develop novel technologies and materials through scientific discovery. Research projects typically fall under two categories: computation and education. We use computation to study the chemical and physical properties of nanoscale materials. The group is also developing innovative approaches to education in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM). Current research interests include the design and virtual screening of nanomaterials for catalysis, developing organometallic nanoparticles for biological applications, battery research, STEM education, and algorithm development. Research is often multidisciplinary, spanning across chemistry, physics, chemical engineering, education, and computer science.
