Research Overview

My group uses experiments, molecular simulations, and machine-learning to design new materials. Experiments answer the essential question of if and how well a material works for a particular application. Molecular simulation provides the molecular insight into why a material works. Machine-learning provides the tool to optimize a material so that it works best. Members of my group apply these three techniques to craft new materials for biomedical devices and lithium ion batteries. One of the main class of materials we study is peptides, which are derived from the constituent amino acids that make up proteins. Peptides have a great chemical diversity yet can be controlled on the near atomic scale.
