Justin Elenewski (Assoc)
Justin Elenewski is a UMD Assistant Research Scientist in the Microsystems and Nanotechnology Division and the Institute for Research in Electronics and Applied Physics at the University of Maryland, College Park. He received a B.S. in Physics from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and a Ph.D. from Virginia Commonwealth University, where he studied several problems in theoretical biophysics. His doctoral research focused on the dynamics of biomolecular energy landscapes and on the role of electronic correlation in enzymatic catalysis. Justin then joined The George Washington University as a postdoctoral researcher, where he developed methods to describe transport in open quantum systems, vibrationally-mediated energy transfer processes, and the physics of low-dimensional materials. He is currently working with Michael Zwolak, using formal theory and numerical simulations to study charge, thermal, and vibrational energy transport in nanoscale devices and catalytic frameworks.
