Biography

Rebecca Lindsey is an Assistant Professor at the University of Michigan, specializing in Nuclear Engineering and Radiological Sciences. Her research group focuses on the study of chemistry in inherently multiscaled systems and the evolution of materials under extreme dynamically changing conditions. Her innovative work involves advanced simulations and machine learning to design and discover nanomaterials that can be synthesized with tunable properties for applications in quantum computing, catalysis, energy, and drug delivery. Lindsey’s group is particularly interested in the rapid synthesis of nanocarbon materials using shock-compression methods to access exotic allotropes and develop rational design principles for these materials. Additionally, she is developing AI-driven simulation tools that bridge the gap between quantum-accurate simulations and molecular mechanics, enhancing the efficiency and accuracy of condensed phase chemistry models. Beyond materials science, her research also explores the implications of chemistry in extreme conditions for sustainable energy solutions and defense applications. With a strong academic background and a commitment to advancing her field, Lindsey is dedicated to facilitating significant advancements through her multifaceted research endeavors.
