Biography:
Cyrus Dreyer earned a B.S. in Engineering Science and Physics, and a B.A. in Mathematics from the University of Virginia. He earned a Ph.D. in Materials from the University of California, Santa Barbara, and then was a postdoctoral associate at Rutgers University. In addition to his position at Stony Brook, he is an associate research scientist at the Flatiron Institute Center for Computational Quantum Physics.

Research Statement:
The Dreyer group develops and implements first-principles techniques base on density functional theory to determine the properties of electronic materials. Our approach is to combine basic theories of condensed matter and materials physics with modern first-principles implementations to explore materials and device properties, either to explain observed behavior, or predict new materials or device designs.
