Title
Computer Simulation in the Physical & Life Sciences : From Chemistry to Materials & the Nano-Bio-Med Frontier
Abstract
The past decade has seen enormous progress in the broad application of computation to topical problems in science and engineering. By selected examples I will illustrate the current status of the field that employs computer simulation methodologies based on the principles of statistical mechanics to problems at the interface between materials science and chemical biology. The prospects for future applications in the biomedical arena will also be touched on, albeit briefly.
