Simulation & Complex Systems Research
Core Faculty
Roseanne M. Ford is a Professor of Chemical Engineering at the University of Virginia. She holds a B.S. degree from the University of Delaware and a Ph.D. from the University of Pennsylvania, both in chemical engineering.
Kyle J. Lampe
Kyle Lampe is an Associate Professor in the Department of Chemical Engineering at the University of Virginia, and by courtesy, Biomedical Engineering and Neuroscience.
In the Bilodeau group, we explore the intersection between molecular simulations, statistical physics, and artificial intelligence to develop tools to discover and design new molecules, surfaces, and proteins with optimized properties. Our core expertise lies in molecular dynamics simulations of soft matter systems and artificial intelligence for m
Chris Paolucci
Chris is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Chemical Engineering. He completed his B.S. and Ph.D in Chemical Engineering at the University of Notre Dame.
The Taylor Lab is a computational soft materials research group in the Department of Chemical Engineering at the University of Virginia. We use molecular dynamics simulations and machine learning to study the structure and dynamics of polymeric materials for target applications as tissue-mimetic and recyclable soft materials.
