Molecular Simulation and Complex Systems Modeling

Develop and apply computational models for engineering applications.
computational engineering

Research in this area is dynamic and thriving with some faculty focusing wholly, or in part, on computational projects. Much of their work is done under the auspices of the college-wide Cornell Institute for Computational Science and Engineering (ICSE). These projects are in the following areas:

  • Computational and Systems Biology: protein conformational studies, biological network fragility, and synthetic biology, protobiology on frozen aqueous and non-aqueous extra-terrestrial worlds.
  • Energy materials, energy transformations and energy systems engineering.
  • Complex fluid modeling of colloids and gels, nanoparticle flows, electrospinning fibers.
  • Electronic materials design and properties.
