David Dubbeldam, born in Krimpen a/d Lek, holds a BSE and a PhD from the University of Amsterdam, specializing in computational chemistry. He completed his graduate work under the guidance of Prof. Dr. Ir. B. Smit and conducted post-doctoral studies with Prof. R.Q. Snurr. Currently, he serves as an associate professor at the University of Amsterdam in the computational chemistry group. In 2011, he was awarded the prestigious NWO VIDI grant of 1 million euros for a five-year research period focused on the design and modeling of metal-organic frameworks. His research centers around the design and modeling of next-generation multifunctional, porous materials with specific molecular properties for applications in gas adsorption, separations, air purification, carbon dioxide capture, energy storage, chemical sensing, and catalysis. Dubbeldam's work has led to the development of the RASPA simulation code and the iRASPA visualization app for macOS, enhancing the capabilities for modeling and visualizing molecular structures. His recent publications address topics such as adsorption isotherms and thermal expansion in metal-organic frameworks, reflecting his work's contribution to the field of molecular simulation and material science.
