Where numerical and data-driven science improves design, operation and control of complex systems

Advanced computational methods and AI are used by our faculty to model complex chemical and biological systems across many length and time scales. This research contributes physical insight and guides experimental design, and it is being applied across a range of applications including dynamics of proteins and DNA, heterogeneous catalytic reactions, and multiphase flow.
