9632898马赫塔 该补助金支持职业生涯中期的材料理论家的工作，他正在参与传统材料特性与复杂计算算法的分析和开发之间的接口。 特别是，这笔赠款支持入侵集群算法的进一步开发和应用，该算法由PI早些时候设计。 其他两个项目是：（1）与计算机科学同事合作研究计算复杂性;（2）与实验同事合作研究多孔介质中流体的流动特性。 %此补助金支持计算机科学和材料理论的接口工作。 有些项目的计算需求是需要整个新的框架。PI已经成功地提出了一种高效的计算平衡性质的方法，称为侵入簇方法。 这项赠款进一步支持这项工作的发展和应用。 有一个研究计算复杂性的项目，这是一个在未来可能具有相当重要意义的课题。 最后还有一个研究流体在多孔介质中流动的项目。 ***

9632898 Machta This grant supports the work of a mid-career materials theorist who is getting involved in the interface between conventional materials properties and the analysis and development of complex computational algorithms. In particular, this grant supports further development and applications of the invaded cluster algorithm, devised earlier by the PI. The other two projects are: (1) investigation of computational complexity in collaboration with a computer science colleague and (2) a collaboration with experimental colleagues on the flow properties of fluids in porous media. %%% This grant supports work at the interface of computer science and materials theory. There are projects where the computational needs are such as to require whole new framework. The PI has successfully proposed a highly efficient way to calculating the equilibrium properties, called invaded cluster method. This grant further supports development and applications of this work. There is a project to study the complexity of a computation, a subject likely to be of considerable significance in future. Finally there is a project to study fluid flow through the porous media. ***
