Abstract
This talk describes applications of molecular simulation to chemical reacting systems and the subsequent development of techniques for multiscale simulation and multiscale systems engineering. The progression of applications of simulation from macroscopic to molecular to multiscale is reviewed. Multiscale systems are presented as an approach that incorporates molecular and multiscale simulation to design processes that control events at the molecular scale while simultaneously optimizing all length scales from the molecular to the macroscopic. It is discussed how multiscale modeling and the targeted design of processes and products at the molecular scale can be addressed using the multiscale systems tools. In addition to addressing challenging problems in materials, microelectronics, and biotechnology, this provides a framework for addressing the "grand challenge" of nanotechnology: how to move nanoscale science and technology from art to an engineering discipline.
