Research Interests
In our research we use molecular and mesoscale simulation to discover and interpret fundamental relationships between molecular structure and thermodynamic properties in advanced materials. In the last decade an unprecedented array of nanoengineered materials with intriguing functionalities have been synthesized. Many of these advanced nanomaterials are expected to have promising futures in applications such as pharmaceuticals, electronic and optical devices, environmentally responsive coatings, energy storage, and biomedical implants. The field of nanomaterials is inherently interdisciplinary and we work closely with experimental groups in chemical engineering, material science, and chemistry. By combining insights from theory, simulation, and experiment, we gain a clearer understanding of how processing environments and end-use conditions impact the functionality and performance of nanoengineered materials.
