Andrew Christofferson

Lecturer, RMIT University, Australia.

Andrew received a bachelor’s degree in chemistry from Montana State University, USA, and a PhD in chemistry with a focus on computational chemistry from the University of Birmingham, UK. Following postdoctoral work at the National Institute of Biological Sciences in Beijing, China, he joined RMIT University as a research fellow in 2012. In his current position at RMIT he uses molecular dynamics simulations and quantum chemical calculations to complement the experimental data of his collaborators to determine atomistic models of self-assembled materials, polymers, biomaterials, liquid metals, and ionic liquids. Applications of his work include novel catalysts and energy storage materials.
