Discover how the latest computational tools are building our understanding of particle interactions and leading to new applicationsWith this book as their guide, readers will gain a new appreciation of the critical role that particle interactions play in advancing research and developing new applications in the biological sciences, chemical engineering, toxicology, medicine, and manufacturing technology The book explores particles ranging in size from cations to whole cells to tissues and processed materials. A focus on recreating complex, real-world dynamical systems helps readers gain a deeper understanding of cell and tissue mechanics, theoretical aspects of multiscale modeling, and the latest applications in biology and nanotechnology.Following an introductory chapter, Multiscale Modeling of Particle Interactions is divided into two parts:Part I, Applications in Nanotechnology, covers:Multiscale modeling of nanoscale aggregation phenomena: applications in semiconductor materials processingMultiscale modeling of rare events in self-assembled systemsContinuum description of atomic sheetsCoulombic dragging and mechanical propelling of molecules in nanofluidic systemsMolecular dynamics modeling of nanodroplets and nanoparticlesModeling the interactions between compliant microcapsules and patterned surfacesPart II, Applications in Biology, covers:Coarse-grained and multiscale simulations of lipid bilayersStochastic approach to biochemical kineticsIn silico modeling of angiogenesis at multiple scalesLarge-scale simulation of blood flow in microvesselsMolecular to multicellular deformation during adhesion of immune cells under flow

MICHAEL R. KING, PhD, is an Associate Professor of Biomedical Engineering at Cornell University. King is an expert on the receptor-mediated adhesion of circulating cells, and has developed new computational and in vitro models to study the function of leukocytes, platelets, and stem, stem and cancer cells under flow. He is a former Whitaker investigator, a James D. Watson Investigator of New York State, and an NSF CAREER Award recipient. King received the 2008 ICNMM Outstanding Researcher Award from the American Society of Mechanical Engineers, was the 2007-2008 Professor of the Year in Engineering at the University of Rochester, and received the 2009 Outstanding Contribution for a Publication in the international journal Clinical Chemistry.DAVID J. GEE, PhD, is an Assistant Professor of Mechanical Engineering at the Rochester Institute of Technology, where he studies the inflammatory response and investigates applications in receptor-mediated adhesion. Previously, Dr. Gee was a research assistant professor and postdoctoral fellow in the Department of Biomedical Engineering at the University of Rochester, where he studied inflammation, and has also served as a research engineer at the Institute for Advanced Technology at The University of Texas at Austin, where he specialized in impact mechanics and computational solid mechanics.
