معرفی
Peter Kusalik is a Professor in the Department of Chemistry at the University of Calgary's Faculty of Science. He previously held roles as Head of the Department of Chemistry and Associate Dean in the Faculty of Science. His research focuses on molecular simulations of liquids, solutions, and solids, particularly aqueous systems, crystal nucleation, and nanobubble behavior. He has authored 120+ publications and holds an h-index of 50.
Education: PhD (Chemistry, UBC 1987), M.S. (Chemistry, UBC 1984), B.S. (Chemistry, U of Lethbridge 1981). Postdoctoral work at ANU followed by tenure at Dalhousie University before joining Calgary in 2005.
Research Interests: Molecular simulations of liquid/solid interfaces, crystal nucleation in aqueous systems, self-assembly of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), nanobubble stability, and energy applications. Techniques include advanced molecular dynamics and machine learning.
Key Projects: Nanobubble generation via electric fields, gas hydrate nucleation mechanisms, and MOF synthesis innovations. Applications span water treatment, energy storage, and environmental remediation.
Labs/Teams: Group Website and IQST collaborations highlight interdisciplinary work. His research bridges fundamental science and applied technologies, addressing global challenges in energy and environmental sustainability.
