Please join Yale Chemistry for a seminar in Theory Chemistry with Jaehyeok Jin, Arnold O. Beckman Postdoctoral Fellow at Columbia University.
Summary: Developing multiscale descriptions of complex chemical and biological processes across disparate length and time scales remains a central challenge. In this talk, I will present new paradigms for constructing predictive coarse-grained descriptions of such systems. Grounded in microscopic design principles, I will first describe how to systematically coarse-grain atomistic systems into simplified particles while retaining the key physical processes governing molecular self-assembly and activation. Second, I will show how these coarse-grained descriptions can be extended across distinct molecular regimes to capture proton transport. Finally, I will present a mesoscopic coarse-graining framework that goes beyond particle descriptions to enable continuum-level modeling derived directly from microscopic information. Together, this unified approach establishes a pathway toward predictive theories of complex dynamics over long length and time scales.
