Felipe J. Blas

Prof. Felipe J. Blas is a University Professor in the Department of Integrated Sciences at the Faculty of Experimental Sciences, University of Huelva (UHU), Spain. He heads the Molecular Simulation and Computational Chemistry Laboratory at the CIQSO-Center for Research in Sustainable Chemistry.

• Research Focus: Molecular modeling, thermodynamics, and simulation of phase equilibria and interfacial properties for complex fluids including hydrates, polymers, and ionic liquids.
• Methodologies: SAFT equation of state, Density Functional Theory (DFT), Monte Carlo, and Molecular Dynamics simulations.
• Key Systems: Clathrate hydrates (methane, CO2, hydrogen), chain-like molecules, amphiphilic substances, and liquid crystals.

His recent publications focus on hydrate nucleation mechanisms, interfacial tensions, and computational methodologies. He has developed the LAMMPS-based 'Mold' package for nucleation rate calculations.
