Professor Joshua Young’s lab at the New Jersey Institute of Technology uses advanced computational methods to design and investigate materials for energy and electronics applications.

We are particularly interested in developing new technology for next-generation devices, batteries, catalysis, pollutant capture to meet growing challenges in electronics, energy production and storage, and environmental protection.

Group Mission

Research in the Young group sits at the intersection between engineering, chemistry, physics, and computer science. We use a multiscale computational approach combining materials informatics, first principles density functional theory calculations, and ab initio molecular dynamics simulations to design new materials and probe their properties across length scales.
