Gus Hart
Professor, Machine learning, modeling and simulation, and biophysics
Gus Hart is a professor in BYU’s Department of Physics and Astronomy. He came to BYU from Northern Arizona in 2006. He completed a PhD at UC Davis with Barry Klein in 1999 and a postdoctoral appointment at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory in 2001 with Alex Zunger.
Until 2022, Gus’s research was computational materials physics where his focus was on alloy modeling, algorithm development, and aflowlib.org. He is the author of enumlib, symlib, and other open source codes. He is the primary developer of the commercial UNCLE cluster expansion code.
Since 2022, Gus’s research focus has shifted to data science and computational biophysics, with a particular focus on developing AI for bacterial tomograms.
