Dr. Styliani Constas

Biography

Styliani Constas is a Professor in the Department of Chemistry at Western University. Her research focuses on physical and analytical chemistry, including molecular simulations and modeling of reactivity. She employs molecular dynamics and Monte Carlo techniques to investigate the dynamics of chemical systems, especially in confined environments such as the nanoscale and microscale. She studies conformational changes in macromolecules and the stability of non-covalently bound complexes, with applications in mass spectrometry, atmospheric chemistry, and biochemistry. With a strong educational background including a B.Sc. from the National Kapodistrian University of Athens and a Ph.D. from the University of Toronto, she has received numerous awards for her work from institutions like the Marie Curie Fellowship program and the Fulbright Canada Research Chair. Her collaborative projects aim to explore atmospheric aerosols and their molecular details, revealing fundamental insights into how chemistry operates in small volumes. Constas has developed innovative computational methods to tackle complex chemical systems and enhance analytical techniques, reflecting her commitment to advancing the field of chemistry through rigorous research and teaching.
