Nominator's project description
| Professor Snurr is a world-renowned leader in the use of molecular-level simulation to accelerate the development of new nanoporous materials to solve important environmental problems. His research group has developed widely used software for the simulation of gas adsorption and diffusion in metal-organic frameworks, as well as computational screening techniques using machine learning. During his stay in Germany, he will focus on fundamental problems in adsorption hysteresis, as well as diffusion in materials having a hierarchy of pore sizes. |
