ABOUT CMPD LAB
We develop computational tools to discover, design, and optimize materials and product systems, with a special focus on soft matter — such as polymers, colloids, gels, and complex fluids — and their applications in energy and sustainability.
We integrate:
- Molecular modeling and simulation to understand structure, dynamics, and transport phenomena in soft matter
- Data science and machine learning to learn interpretable process–structure–property relationships
- Process systems engineering to navigate trade-offs and optimize designs under practical constraints
