Biography

Eric Bylaska is a theoretical physical chemist with more than 20 years of experience in geochemical, actinide, chemical, and environmental research. His research areas include the study of aqueous ions, the degradation of volatile organic compounds in the subsurface, and the structure and reactivity of solvated mineral surfaces. Bylaska develops and implements new first principles methods of simulation, and is a primary author of the first principles ab initio molecular dynamics and band structure modules in the NWChem and NWChemEx computational chemistry packages for parallel computers, developed at PNNL. He is also the primary author and designer of the Environmental Molecular Sciences Laboratory (EMSL) Arrows web application. EMSL Arrows is a revolutionary approach to materials and chemical simulations that makes materials and chemical modeling accessible via a broad spectrum of digital communications including posts to web application programming inferface, social networks, and traditional email.
