Thomas Linker

I am a Associate Scientist at SLAC National lab. I received my Ph.D from University of Southern California in the Collaboratory for Advanced Computing and Simulations. I have worked on development of multi-scale quantum dynamics and machine learning simulations for a variety of applications ranging from topological phases in ferroelectrics, polymer dielectric breakdown, and inelastic neutron scattering of hydrogen fuel candidates. I am currently interested in designing simulations to guide development of non-linear x-ray emission spectroscopy techniques with the ultimate goal of exploring photochemistry in biological systems. I am also developing molecular dynamics frameworks for excited state chemistry at nanoparticle surfaces for green energy technologies.
