Professor Andrew Adamczyk

Biography

Prof. Andrew J. Adamczyk is an experienced research engineer with over 10 years of experience in corporate and academic research outside of his PhD work. Prof. Adamczyk has worked at Northwerstern University, University of Southern California, MIT, and Air Products. The modeling capabilities of the Adamczyk Research Group lie in using computational (bio)chemistry and (bio)physics techniques, detailed kinetic modeling, and reaction engineering and optimization principles to investigate complex reacting systems and materials properties. Herein, our team members leverage multi-scale modeling methods to perform atomistic- to reactor-scale simulations to provide fundamental insights when experiments are unattainable or difficult to attain. Key methods include, but are not limited to, computational (bio)chemistry (i.e., atomistic modeling using quantum mechanics, molecular mechanics, molecular dynamics, and hybrid quantum mechanics/molecular mechanics techniques for single- and multi-phase systems), automated reaction network generation, in silico hypothesis testing, structure-function relationships, and uncertainty analysis.
