https://interfaciallab.kaust.edu.sa).
Research opportunities include:
1. Modeling forces, tensions, free energies at water-hydrophobe interfaces to explain our experimental observations,
2. Modelling “on-water” chemical reactions,
3. Method development: extracting thermodynamic variables from molecular dynamics trajectories, e.g., the Two-phase thermodynamics model
Terrific opportunities to work with experimentalists in our Group and our external collaborators.
Expectations:
The candidate should have a PhD in theoretical/computational chemistry or materials science. We expect the individual to be
• Curiosity-driven, meticulous dedicated, and a team player
• Solid background in statistical mechanics and prior experience in modeling water would be great
