Molecular Simulations Workshop
Following our fruitful 2018 workshop, on November 1, 2019 Otto H. York Department of Chemical and Materials Engineering we held the second workshop on molecular simulations.
The goal of this workshop was to bring together different research groups at NJIT working on molecular and atomistic modeling. The workshop provided a forum for discussion of application of this type of models to problems across various disciplines: chemistry, physics, mechanics, materials science, and chemical engineering. The talks were given by NJIT faculty members, postdoctoral researchers, and students.
If you are interested in participating in the next workshop, please contact the organizer, Prof. Gennady Gor directly via e-mail: gor@njit.edu
Below is the program and the schedule of the talks. The format is the following: each presentation will be 15-20 minutes, plus 5 additional minutes for discussion.
