Dr. Richard Overstreet is a postdoctoral researcher with the Systems Modeling and Computational Science team in PNNL’s Environmental Molecular Sciences Division and the Environmental Molecular Sciences Laboratory (EMSL) user program. As part of his postdoctoral work, Overstreet researches surface adsorption chemistry, molecular dynamics, Ab-initio methods, transition state search methods, and chemical modeling and simulation. He also studies supervised and unsupervised machine learning chemical applications. Recently, Overstreet participated in the PNNL Chemical Dynamics Initiative, a cross-directorate effort to lie the foundations for understanding and predicting the temporal evolution of complex chemical systems in real-world or operational environments.
