Jennifer (Jenny) Coulter
I’m a Flatiron Research Fellow at the Center for Computational Quantum Physics (CCQ).
Previously:
- Ph.D. in Applied Physics from Harvard Unversity in 2023 (Kozinsky group).
- Department of Energy (DOE) Computational Science Graduate Fellow (CSGF) from 2017-2021.
- B.S. in physics from Rutgers University in 2017.
Interests
My research falls into three areas, all in predicting electron-phonon and electronic transport in materials:
- Understanding how electronic correlations can alter el-ph effects in materials
- Developing new and improved methods for transport predictions
- Collaborating with experimentalists to understand electrical, thermal, and thermoelectric transport
I’m also the main developer of the 
Phoebe code (a high-performance framework for Phonon and Electron Boltzmann transport Equation solutions).
- You can learn more about Phoebe through its documentation or the manuscript.
- For questions about using Phoebe, open a git discussion or email me directly.
