Methods

Density Functional Theory: (GAUSSIAN, ORCA, CP2K)
  • Electronic structure calculation
  • Prediction of material properties (e.g. band gaps, magnetic moments, equilibrium structures of crystals, molecules or surfaces, optical spectra)
  • Modeling of chemical reactions.
All-atom Molecular Dynamics: (LAMMPS, NAMD, GROMACS)
  • Simulation of molecular motion
  • Exploration of thermodynamic properties,
  • Structural properties and phase transitions,
  • Modeling of diffusion properties,
  • Simulation of molecular interactions in complex systems (liquids, glasses, polymers, biomolecules),
  • Simulation of interfaces and surfaces.
Coarse-grain (CG) Modeling Techniques: Monte Carlo and CG Molecular Dynamics: (LAMMPS, GROMACS, LeMonADE)
  • Simulations of large systems – macromolecular associates, membranes, bulk materials,
  • Simulation of long-time processes, e.g. polymer dynamics and phase separation,
  • Material property prediction – viscosity, diffusivity, Exploration of self-assembly
Mean-Field Approaches: (Ansys)
  • Prediction of phase diagrams
  • Modeling of polymer blends
  • Exploration of field-controlled polymers (polymers responding to magnetic field, light)

Expertise

Multiscale modeling:
  • from atoms and molecules to macromolecules and their assemblies.
