My research employs molecular dynamics to study the behavior of liquids in nanometric pores

Research Interests

I am a graduate student in the Chemical Engineering department and joined the Scherer group in January of 2004.  I am working on computer simulations of salt solutions using molecular dynamics.  I work closely with the group of Professor Garofalini at Rutgers University who has expertise in the area of confined fluids and glassy materials.  With their help, I plan to use the potentials we develop for the salts with the improved water potential they have already developed to study the behavior of a salt solution confined between a salt crystal and a mineral surface.
