Senior馃帗
Top SchoolDavid Montiel is a research investigator at the University of Michigan with over a decade of experience developing and implementing numerical methods for phase-field and phase-field crystal models, specializing in 2D materials. He brings deep expertise in modeling epitaxial thin film growth, alloy nucleation, and x-ray diffraction analysis, coupled with extensive hands-on coding in Fortran, C/C++ and MATLAB. His work bridges theoretical physics and practical simulation, translating complex governing equations into robust, production-ready solvers and visualization workflows. Trained with a PhD in Physics from McGill and advanced degrees in chemistry and chemical engineering from UNAM, he combines multidisciplinary foundations with a sustained research trajectory across leading North American labs. An understated strength is his long-term commitment to optimizing legacy scientific codebases, enabling reproducible simulations and scalable analyses for materials discovery.
