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).

FEASST is an open-source Monte Carlo software for particle-based simulations. This software, which was released in 2017, has been used to study phase We develop a multiscale coarse-grain model of the NIST Monoclonal Antibody Reference Material 8671 (NISTmAb) to enable systematic computational investigations Theories of small systems play an important role in the fundamental understanding of finite size effects in statistical mechanics, as well as the validation of The solution viscosity and protein−protein interactions (PPIs) as a function of temperature (4−40 °C) were measured at a series of protein concentrations for a Molecular simulations of water adsorption in porous materials often converge slowly due to sampling bottlenecks that follow from hydrogen bonding and, in many View more Publications
