Research Interests
By investigating the physics of the earth at the atomic level, Professor Stixrude's research seeks a fundamental understanding of global geophysical processes. The behavior of earth materials is studied with a variety of methods including first principles quantum mechanical theory. Predictions of material physics at conditions of Earth's interior
lend insight into magma generation and transport, the seismic structure of mantle and core, and the state of water
in the deep interior.
