When I tell people that I am a modeler, they look at my clothes and general lack of fashion sense and their eyes say, "nuh-uh." When I clarify that I am a multi-scale modeler, I sometimes add, "no I ...

The advancement of heterogeneous catalysis is limited by our understanding of the synergy between the different components of a reaction in progress. Multiscale modelling promises to address the need ...

Surface modification of micro-nanoparticles at the atomic and close-to-atomic scales is of great importance to their applications in a variety of fields, such as energy storage, catalysis, sensors, ...

Crop modeling is essential for understanding how to secure the food supply as the planet adapts to climate change. Many current crop models focus on simulating crop growth and yield at the field scale ...

A new computational modeling technique could indicate when atherosclerotic plaques will likely undergo rapid growth, reports a study published this week in PLOS Computational Biology. Atherosclerosis ...

In a recent article published in the Communications Biology Journal, researchers reviewed epilepsy-related degeneracy at three levels of brain organization: the cellular, network, and systems level.

The Mechanics of Multi-scale Materials research group uncovers the relationships of structures across the full range of engineering scales, from the molecular to the macro. In addition to established ...

As product development teams face increasingly complex challenges — including the need for greater sustainability — there’s a growing awareness of the critical contributions made by materials. Many of ...

Siemens announces that it has signed an agreement to acquire Culgi, a computational chemistry software company with a focus on multiscale simulations in the process industries. Culgi will join Siemens ...

Understand the underlying principles of molecular dynamics (equations of motion for atoms, atomic interactions). Gain proficiency in designing molecular dynamics simulations using available software ...
