Munoz group featured by Berkeley Lab CSR News
Our group and particularly our work at Berkeley Lab with Bert de Jong were featured in the wonderful article by Keri Troutman ‘SRP Program Benefits UTEP Researchers in Materials Science and Beyond’ published in Berkeley Lab’s Computing Science Research News. Read it here.
Student success at UTEP and a few other things
Lizbeth San Martin interviewed Jorge about his career path, job responsabilities and success, working with students at The University of Texas at El Paso (UTEP) and being one, and what makes him tick. Based on this, she wrote an article in Spanish for The Prospector, which is UTEP’s student newspaper. Read it here.

Jorge part of the 2022 Cottrell Scholar Award class
Jorge was selected to be part of the 2022 class of Cotrell Scholars by the Research Corporation for Science Advancement (RCSA) and receive $100,000 to be used towards research and teaching. The title of his proposal was “Fast and Accurate Computation of Anharmonic Phonons in Polymorphic Materials” and aims to develop methods and computational tools to compute anharmonic force constants for several materials from quantum mechanics, from which many functional properties can be predicted. The press release from RCSA is here. A non-technical explanation of the project is here. An article published by UTEP Communications is here.
