Pioneering Theoretical Chemist Advancing Molecular Simulation
Associated with :
Massachusetts Institute of TechnologyAdam Willard serves as Associate Professor in MIT's Department of Chemistry, where he combines theoretical chemistry with advanced computational methods to explore complex molecular systems. After earning his B.Sc. in chemistry and mathematics from the University of Puget Sound and PhD in chemistry from UC Berkeley, he joined MIT's faculty in 2013, achieving tenure in 2020. His research group specializes in using theory and simulation to understand molecular fluctuations in chemical phenomena, particularly focusing on excited electron dynamics in conjugated molecular systems and liquid water interfaces1
