Simulations of Driven Colloidal Suspensions

格鲁吉亚理工学院的Rigoberto埃尔南德斯获得了理论和计算化学项目的一项研究奖，该研究旨在整合计算和理论工具，用于表征非平衡胶体悬浮液和液晶。该项目的长期目标是开发能够精确模拟非平衡溶剂中分子和微观粒子动力学的工具。这项工作通过非平衡系统建模方法的发展产生了更广泛的影响，这对生物学和材料科学的理解具有广泛的意义。 通过PI在科学公共宣传活动中的广泛努力以及招募和指导代表性不足的少数群体学生进入科学领域的方案，这项工作正在产生更广泛的影响。

Rigoberto Hernandez of Georgia Institute of Technology is supported by an award from the Theoretical and Computational Chemistry Program for research which seeks to integrate computational and theoretical tools for the characterization of nonequilibrium colloidal suspensions and liquid crystals. The long term goal of this project is to develop tools that can accurately model the dynamics of molecules and microscopic particles in nonequilibrium solvents. The work is having a broader impact hrough the development of methods to model non-equilibrium systems, which has wide implciations for the understanding of biology and materials science. The work is having a further broader impact through the extensive efforts of the PI in public outreach activities for science as well as programs for the recruitment and mentoring of students from under-represented minority groups into science.
