Dr. Graf joined the Materials Sciences and Engineering Division of the Office of Basic Energy Sciences at the U.S. Department of Energy in December 2014 as manager for the Theoretical Condensed Matter Physics program.

Dr. Graf worked as Staff Scientist in the Theoretical Division at Los Alamos National Laboratory from 2000 to 2014, after he had carried out postdoctoral research at Northwestern University and Los Alamos National Laboratory.  His research interests included correlated electron materials, superconductors, disordered solids, and detector and energetic materials.  He is coauthor of more than 100 peer-reviewed publications investigating thermodynamic, transport, and spectroscopic properties of electronic or vibrational states in the bulk or locally at surfaces.  He developed phenomenological and microscopic theories, and applied electronic structure methods to explore new emergent phenomena and to better understand their functional properties.

Dr. Graf was a Visiting Fellow at Chalmers University of Technology, Gothenburg, Sweden, has given numerous invited and contributed talks, and is a member of the American Physical Society.
