Overview

Molecular simulation is a method of physical inquiry in which the properties of model materials—defined in terms of their intermolecular interactions only—are studied to “measure” the bulk physical behaviors they exhibit. Our research aims to improve the ability of molecular simulation to do this, while also applying molecular simulation to understand the behavior of systems that are interesting and of practical importance.
