Andrew Z. Summers

Welcome! I am a graduate student currently pursuing a Ph.D. in Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering at Vanderbilt University in Nashville, Tennessee.  My research in the McCabe and Cummings groups concerns the use of molecular modeling and simulation to examine the tribological properties of self-assembled monolayers at interfaces. I am also one of the lead developers of the Molecular Simulation and Design Framework (MoSDeF) software suite, which consists of several Python libraries aimed at providing users with tools to initialize parameterized molecular models in a programmatic and reproducible manner.
