Summary

 

Overview

  • Molecular simulation : equilibrium and non-equilibrium MD for homogeneous fluids and interfacial (solid-fluid) systems
  • Coarse-grained intermolecular potentials linking directly equations of state and macroscopic thermophysical properties to molecular parameters ( see Bottled SAFT )
  • Employing Machine Learning as a tool to enhance molecular simulations ( e.g. developing potentials, predicting thermophysical properties)
  • Engineering applications of the above : Examples of current research : Shale oils production, hydrogen storage, asphaltene precipitation, CO2 solid formation kinetics, transport of API's through bio-membranes)
