My research interests include the development of new molecular simulation methods, coarse-grained models of monoclonal antibodies, self-assembly of patchy particles, protein stability and hydrophobic hydration.

• Available research positions include NRC RAP (RO# 50.64.61.C0480), SURF and guest researcher opportunities. If interested, please harold.hatch [at] nist.gov (contact me) for more information.
• The Free Energy and Advanced Sampling Simulation Toolkit (FEASST) is a free, open-source, modular program to conduct molecular and particle-based simulations with flat-histogram Monte Carlo and molecular dynamics methods.
• The Standard Reference Simulation Website is an ongoing project whose aim is to provide well-documented simulation results for a variety of systems and from various simulation techniques.
• See my personal website (https://hhatch.com) for more information (e.g., CV, etc).

The accurate and fast simulation of CO2 and n-alkanes phase equilibria is crucial for guiding their industrial applications. We use the Wang−Landau Transition This study explores the structure and phase behavior of monolayers of model colloids with short-range attractions and long-range repulsions, The model is We develop coarse-grained models for carbon dioxide (CO2 ) and nitrogen (N2 ) that capture the vapor-liquid equilibria of their single components and their View more Publications
