Simulation and modeling are used in our research to support or help understand experimental findings. Examples range from MD simulations of interfacial fluids and force microscopy, to molecular modeling and electronic structure calculations for interpreting STM images. We collaborate with theory groups at WWU and elsewhere around the world. References Simulation in Force Spectroscopy, D. L. Patrick, in "Handbook of Force Spectroscopy", A.
