Prof. Alexander-Katz received the Frank E. Perkins Award
13 May 2019Professor Alfredo Alexander-Katz received the Frank E. Perkins Award for Excellence in Graduate Advising from MIT's Graduate Student Council. Congratulations Alfredo!
Our mission and vision
Our research concentrates on the dynamics and self-assembly of soft material systems. The group uses a combination of theory, computer simulations, and experimental studies. Depending on the spatio-temporal scales of interest, a variety of simulation techniques are utilized, including self-consistent field theoretic simulations, dissipative particle dynamics, molecular dynamics, and Monte Carlo methods. The group’s theoretical studies are supplemented by experiments performed in-house or through collaborations.
