Our Research Philosophies

The Cersonsky group is interested in leveraging data science and molecular simulation to explore molecular systems with changing and complex phase behavior. This research aims to address pertinent fundamental and applied open problems in computational chemical and materials sciences, all to better our world. Our group is committed to conducting research that upholds the principles of open science and adheres to FAIR data standards.
