Debenedetti used molecular simulations to discover the nested domain pattern of water's thermodynamic, transport and structural anomalies. He formulated the singularity-free theory of supercooled water's thermodynamics. A definer of contemporary knowledge of supercooled liquids and glasses, he brought this field into mainstream engineering thermodynamics and has shown its technological relevance. |

My current research includes theoretical and computational investigation of metastable criticality in water; computational analysis of the long-range structure of water glasses; development of genetic algorithms for the optimization of protein anti-freeze activity; advanced sampling computational investigation of DNA hybridization and RNA folding; and theoretical and computational investigation of chirality-induced liquid-liquid phase transitions. |
