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.

佐治亚理工学院的Rigoberto Hernandez获得了理论和计算化学项目的奖励，他的研究旨在将计算和理论工具整合到非平衡胶体悬浮液和液晶的表征中。该项目的长期目标是开发能够准确模拟非平衡溶剂中分子和微观颗粒动力学的工具。这项工作正在通过开发非平衡系统模型的方法产生更广泛的影响，这对生物学和材料科学的理解具有广泛的影响。通过PI在科学公共宣传活动以及招募和指导来自代表性不足的少数群体的学生进入科学领域的计划方面的广泛努力，这项工作正在产生进一步的广泛影响。
