Multiscale, Multiparadigm Computations

bulletDevelopment of efficient computational modeling frameworks for performing seamless multiscale, multiparadigm simulations with near QM accuracy.  Problems addressed include continuous paradigm mixing, systematic computation upscaling/downscaling, handling wave reflections at the discrete-continuum interface, expressing and propagating interfacial phenomena, inverse solutions, among others.

Nano- and Bio-Mechanics

bulletDesign, prediction and optimization of thermo-mechanical properties of nanoscale systems.  Problems addressed include thermo- and mechano-regulatory properties of materials at the nanoscale, optimized dynamic response design, nanoscale control, nanoscale scaffolding, among others.

Coarse-grain Methods

bulletBridging atomistic MD simulations with coarse-grain mesoscale methods capable of connecting to the continuum.  Problems addressed include protein and polymer structure prediction and conformation analysis.

Collaborative research

bulletSeveral areas of interdisciplinary collaborative research are being pursued in relation to the application of our multiscale, multiparadigm methodsand simulation tools for theory and applications development, including: Fuel-cells, Advanced Nuclear Energy Systems, Energetic Materials, Petascale Modeling and Simulation of Non-Equilibrium Phenomena, Polymer Nanocomposites, and Fire-Fighting Aqueous Film Forming Foams.
