His research interests are in the combination of the design of efficient implementations of these methods on modern, complex computer architectures, including the vector processing supercomputers of the 1980s and the massively parallel computer systems of today.
Dr. Tjerk P. Straatsma is an internationally recognized scientist with more than 30 years of experience in the development, efficient implementation and application of advanced modeling and simulation methods as key scientific tools in the study of chemical and biomolecular systems, complementing analytical theories and experimental studies. His research focuses on the development of computational techniques that provide unique and detailed atomic level information that is difficult or impossible to obtain by other methods, and that contributes to the understanding of the properties and function of these systems.
