Projektbeschreibung der*des Nominierenden

Professor Hernandez is a renowned theoretical chemist, known for his outstanding contributions to non-equilibrium molecular dynamics. His research covers method development for extended molecular simulations, and applications ranging from chemical reaction dynamics over materials science to the treatment of biological problems. During his research stay in Germany, he will focus on reactions near nanomaterials and on biomolecular dynamics.
