Biography

Fernando Bresme is a Professor of Chemical Physics at Imperial College London, leading the Computational Chemical Physics Group. His research focuses on the structure and dynamics of complex chemical interfaces, such as colloids, biopolymers, membranes, and nanomaterials, which are essential for understanding the behavior of soft matter. His major emphasis is on transport phenomena at the nanoscale, where he develops computational tools to quantify energy and mass transfer at interfaces to inform the design of advanced materials for energy management and biomedical applications. This includes research into super-insulating, highly conductive media and novel concepts for energy conversion and waste heat recovery. Additionally, he investigates how proteins behave at interfaces and the influence of nanoscale heat transfer on the mass transport of biomolecules within cellular structures. By combining non-equilibrium and equilibrium simulations with experimental approaches, his work aims to enhance the understanding of soft materials and inspire new bio-based technologies. He welcomes inquiries from prospective Postdoctoral Researchers and PhD students interested in joining his group.
