Multi-scale Simulations

Multi-scale simulations are computer methods used to model and explore complex physical, chemical, and biological systems in diverse fields such as materials science, biochemistry, and nanotechnology. This powerful tool allows researchers to consider multiple systems and/or processes at different scales of space and time, an incredibly useful advantage over traditional methods that consider one system at a time. As a result, multi-scale simulations can quickly generate insight into the behavior of vastly different phenomena, from the nanoscale of an LED to the macroscale of climate change. This allows researchers to make more accurate predictions, design better products and services, and explore potential solutions for difficult problems.
