Duin</b> from Penn State University, a renowned expert and world-class
scientist specializing in large-scale atomistic modeling of a wide range of
materials. Prof. van Duin is the pioneer behind the reactive force field (<b>ReaxFF</b>)
method, a groundbreaking computational tool that has been utilized by researchers
worldwide in over <b>1,000</b> peer-reviewed publications and garnered more
than <b>40,000</b> citations. ReaxFF offers a powerful and computationally
efficient alternative to quantum mechanics-based simulations.</span> <span style="font-size:11.5pt;line-height:107%;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;color:rgb(29,28,29);background-image:initial;background-position:initial;background-size:initial;background-repeat:initial;background-origin:initial;background-clip:initial">The ReaxFF method has contributed valuable

Also, He will present and overview of recent and past applications to complex
materials, with a focus on 2D-material defect chemistry, metal deposition and
recent developments for expansion of ReaxFF for events in graphitic materials
