Enrique Lomba

I got my PhD in Physical Chemistry in 1988 from the Universidad Complutense of Madrid with a work on the determination of dielectric constants in polar molecular fluids using computer simulation and integral equations. From 1989 to 1990 I stayed at the Institute of Theoretical Physics in Trondheim (NTH), working in collaboration with J.S. Høye on several topics ranging from the solution of HNC equations in ionic fluids to the problem of refractive index in polarizable fluids. From 1991 to 1992 my working place was the Department of Chemistry of the State University of New York at Stony Brook, where in collaboration with Prof. George Stell most of my time went into the study of integral equations in ionic sytems and the implementation of numerical methods to sove integral equations for quenched sytems (in particular porous sytems). My main research topics these days are :

• Computer modeling and simulation in nanostructured materials: Disordered porous carbon and adsorption in PILCS and zeolites.
• Structure and thermodynamics of partially quenched systems, in collaboration with D. Levesque and J.J. Weis, from the Université de Paris-Sud
• Phase Transitions in confined and 2D fluids
• Parallel programming and Java Visualization
• Cluster computing under Linux (see our clusters Hidra and ladon)
