I am developping methods (Path Integral Molecular Dynamics (PIMD), asynchronous Replica Exchange Molecular Dynamics (REMD) and (Replica Exchange Path Integral Molecular Dynamics (PIREMD) to enhance Molecular Dynamic simulations on the deMonNano code (which is a DFTB code) and the deMon2k code (a DFT code). Using the right parallelization method for their implementation, they fit perfectly the architecture of supercomputers and show a great scaling peformance.
In the second part of my Ph.D I will use these methods to determine the impact of Nuclear Quantum Effects (NQEs) on:
neutral and protonated water clusters
proton transfer on water clusters
the behavior of protons adsorbed on metals surfaces such as silver, gold or ruthenium
the absorption and emission properties of simple organic molecules in aqueous solvant.
