Hi, I’m Pierre 👋

Computational polymer physicist | Postdoctoral researcher @ USF (Chemical Engineering)
I build simulation tools and theory to connect nanoscale polymer phenomena to macroscopic properties.

  • 🔬 Interests: polymer physics, molecular simulation (MD/MC), elastomeric nanocomposites, sequence–Tg relationships
  • 🧰 Tooling: C/C++, Python, Bash, CUDA, LAMMPS, custom MD/MC codes, SLURM/HPC
  • 📍 Tampa, FL • Open to collaborations and interesting problems

What I’m working on

  • Toughness in elastomeric nanocomposites via polymer–filler interplay
  • Copolymer sequence effects on glass transition (simulation–experiment bridges)
  • Cleaner, reproducible analysis pipelines for large-scale simulations

Highlights

  • ⚙️ Led lab-wide migration of legacy sim/analysis code to GitHub with modularization & CI
  • 🧑‍🏫 Mentor & community builder (ECR in Polymer Physics; USF Postdoc Scholars Association)
  • 🗣️ Talks: American Chemical Society, American Physical Society, American Institute of Chemical Engineers, American Society for Engineering Education, Institute of Physics
