Professor
Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering (CBE)
Mechanical Engineering and Applied Mechanics (MEAM)
Research Expertise: Molecular Simulation | Transport Processes | Chemical Systems Engineering
Talid's research program is broadly aimed at the theoretical and computational study of nano and microstructural evolution, particularly nucleation and growth, in condensed matter. He is currently pursuing microdefect formation in crystalline semiconductors, colloidal crystallization of micron-scale particles with tunable interactions, and platelet aggregation in blood. Talid's lab has developed an extensive suite of simulation tools for studying these phenomena, including large-scale molecular dynamics, multiscale kinetic Monte Carlo, and continuum models.
