Peter Cummings to receive FOMMS 2018 Founders Medal
Peter Cummings, John R. Hall Professor and associate dean for research, will receive the 2018 FOMMS Medal in July at the seventh triennial Foundations of Molecular Modeling and Simulation conference where he will deliver the FOMMS Medal Lecture.
The FOMMS Medal honors profound and lasting contributions by one or more individuals to the development of computational methods and their application to the field of molecular-based modeling and simulation.
Cummings directs Vanderbilt’s Multiscale Modeling and Simulation center, an interdisciplinary research facility in the School of Engineering. His research interests include statistical mechanics, molecular simulation, computational materials science, computational and theoretical nanoscience, and computational biology.
