SICE story
Dec 2017 - App to simulate ions in nanoconfinement
is released on nanoHUB. Designed in collaboration with the Fox group, this app is part of the IU Engineered nanoBIO node.
Sep 2017 - We are part of the team that receives a NSF award
to establish Engineered nanoBIO node at IU. The node will develop web-based computational nanotechnology tools to advance nanoscale device design.
