Estela Blaisten-Barojas is Professor of computational science, physics and chemistry in the School of P hysics, Astronomy, and Computational Sciences. She is the director of the Computational Materials S cience Center, coordinator of the Mason Nanotechnology Initiative. and is affiliated with the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry. Recently, she served as Program Director at the National Science Foundation (NSF) within the Theory, Models and Computational Methods program. She has held an affiliate research appoin tment with the Institute of Physical Sciences & Technology, University of Maryland, a contractual research appointment at the National Insti tute of Standards and Technology, and an endowed visiting chair at the Institute of Physics, Universidad Nacional Autonoma de Mexico. She wa s a Fulbright senior fellow at the Department of Chemistry, Stanford University, and a NSF visiting professor at the Chemistry and Physics d epartments of Johns Hopkins University. She is an elected Fellow of the American Physical Society (APS), and has served for several years in the APS-Committee of International Science Affairs and in the Executive Committee of the APS-Division of Computational Physics. She is memb er of the Editorial Boards of the Journal of Computational and Theoretical Nanoscience and The Scientific World Journal: Atomic and Molecular Physics.
Her research interests are in the broad area of large scale dynamical simulations of systems in condensed phases, computational statistical mechanics, physics of elemental and molecular clusters, applications of quantum chemistry to nanoscience, and machine learning discovery in solid state materials and soft materials including biomaterials.
