个人简介

Dr. Theresa Windus joins the faculty in August 2006 as a full Professor. She earned her Ph.D. from Iowa State University in 1993 and did post-doctoral research at Northwestern University. Theresa was also the Director of Computational Chemistry/Training at Ohio Supercomputer Center and the Computational chemistry lead at the Wright Patterson Air Force Base Major Shared Resource Center. Most recently, she was the manger of the Molecular Science Software Group and the Visualization and User Services group in the Molecular Science Computing Facility in the Environmental Molecular Sciences Laboratory of Pacific Northwest National Laboratory.

研究领域

Theoretical and Computational Chemistry

Modern theoretical and computational chemical science is a confluence of mathematics, physics, computer science, chemistry and sometimes biology. It is at the interface between these disciplines where many of the most exciting new developments in the field are being made. The scientific questions being asked demand much more from the theories, the computational algorithms and the scientist's chemical intuition than in previous years. Much of Dr. Windus' work in the field has concentrated on exploring reactions, theories, and methodologies that are complex in nature and require multiple approaches and large amounts of computer resources to solve. For example, her recent research into one of the steps in the molecular scale cell signaling process involved the use of molecular dynamics, quantum mechanics, and combined quantum and molecular theories on high performance computers to determine the preferred mechanisms for this reaction. Her work at Iowa State focuses on building a research program to develop new methods and algorithms for high performance computational chemistry as well as applying those techniques to both basic and applied research. In particular, she researchs reactions of heavy element systems (actinides), nucleation and growth of aerosol clusters, molecular scale investigations of cell signaling processes and the development of algorithms that run on thousands to ten thousands of processors.
