PICS Colloquium with Josh Lequieu

PICS Large Conference Room – 534 3401 Walnut Street, 5A, Philadelphia, PA, United States

Joshua Lequieu’s research is focused on developing predictive multi-scale models of nano-structured soft matter. By combining insights from materials science and biology, his research seeks to provide a mechanistic understanding of complex molecular systems with applications ranging from energy to human health. A central component of his research is a multi-scale strategy that bridges atomistic, […]

PICS Colloquium with Vincent Sitzmann
