UC San Diego Physics

We honored Mayer Hall as the home of density functional theory. DFT continues to find relevance in new materials design, drug discovery and novel semiconductors. It's one example of the brilliant work our researchers do every day. bit.ly/3BqJS3y @UCSanDiego @UCSDPhysics

UC San Diego is exercising caution and moving our instruction to a remote-only mode from Jan. 3 to Jan. 17. During this time we will incrementally populate the campus using a more comprehensive testing regiment. More info: bit.ly/3moARQq
