Brief Bio:
Nick manages the user-facing software library and profiles user behavior on MSI systems. During his graduate studies, he extended methods for thermodynamic accuracy and transferability of coarse-grained molecular dynamics models. These methods allow for the simulation of accurate bottom-up coarse-grained models at state points away from their parameterization. He also studied the aggregation behavior of model asphaltene compounds by molecular dynamics simulation.
