Liem X Dang
Chief Scientist, Fundamental and Computational Sciences Directorate, Chemical and Material Sciences Division, Molecular Interactions and TransformationsResearch Interests
Dr. Dang's research interests focus on the use of computer simulation methods to describe the structural and thermodynamic properties of polar molecular fluids, including water, ions, and polar biomolecular solutes. He is interested in the development of interaction potentials that include nonadditive effects such as polarization, and in the development of computational techniques for describing interfaces and for predicting ion selectivity in macrocyclic crown ethers.
Past Experience
Prior to joining the EMSL, Dr. Dang was a visiting scientist at the IBM Almaden Research Center, San Jose, and a postdoctoral fellow at the University of California, San Francisco with Professor P. A. Kollman.
Education
Dr. Dang received his Ph.D. in 1985 from the University of California, Irvine, where his advisor was Professor M. Wolfsberg.
