Biography

Lev Sarkisov specializes in molecular simulation applied to problems within chemical engineering and material science, particularly in bimolecular systems. With over 50 years of expertise, he has utilized Monte Carlo simulations and the Metropolis method to drive research in thermodynamic properties of matter, material design, and drug discovery. Molecular simulations serve as an efficient alternative to experiments that might be impractical or costly due to extreme conditions. By allowing the exploration of larger systems under varied conditions, these techniques considerably enhance the optimization cycle for new materials and structures tailored for specific applications. Notably, they provide a detailed examination of systems at the molecular scale, shedding light on the physical effects that govern behavior. Sarkisov leads the Sarkisov Research Group and has been associated with numerous prestigious publications and editorial boards in the field, further solidifying his contributions to chemical engineering education and research.
