Research Fellows
Steve L. Fiedler
fiedler@umich.edu
Joined the group in 4/2006.
Research Interests:
Development of new computational methodology based on novel coarse-graining Molecular Dynamics techniques. This new approach that allows to bridge the length and time scales in the important area of nanocluster self-assembly will not only have a large impact for understanding combustion-generated carbon nanoparticles, but also in the general area of nanoparticle self-assembly.
