There a handful of potential projects on geometrically frustrated magnetism that involve classical physics. One of these
would be contributions to the project on 111-Ising spins on the hyperkagome lattice that was started by Patrick Carter.
Quantum magnetism that involves the exact diagonalization of model Hamiltonians on finite lattices. This project would
build off of work done by William Jensen.
There is the potential to perform a variety of numerical studies - mainly Monte Carlo - related to statistical mechanics
and magnetism.
