Research summary
AI-generated

Zachary D. McClure works in materials science, using computational methods such as molecular dynamics simulations, machine learning, and active learning to study and predict material properties. Their work spans topics like high entropy alloys (metal mixtures with many elements), phase-change and amorphous materials, nanoparticle structures, and thermal transport, and more recently has extended into computational tools for drug discovery datasets and AI frameworks. The research combines simulation, data-driven modeling, and materials characterization to guide the design and selection of new materials.
