Research Summary
Research Summary
Our group utilizes molecular dynamics simulations to study the partitioning on ions in aqueous reverse micelles. These reverse micelles serve as proxies for atmospheric aerosols. We collaborate with Dr. Joshua Patterson at Christopher Newport University on this project.

Our research interests also include investigation of micro-hydrated ion clusters and the arrangement of water molecules around these anions. Recently, our group has developed an interest in applications of machine learning to the sciences. Additionally, we work hard to incorporate computing at all levels of our teaching and introduce students to computational thinking and programming using the Wolfram language.

Max has joined our group and is performing summer research on the reverse micelle project. Victor presented his research on polarizability of pyruvate anion at the national ACS meeting with Dr. Sharma. Christeen, Emil, and Lennox presented their work on machine learning for laboratory glassware at the National Conference on Undergraduate Research. Victor graduated with high honors and will be joining Cornell University for a PhD in Chemical Engineering.
