Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolAmalie Frischknecht is a Principal Member of Technical Staff at Sandia National Laboratories with over two decades of research experience in the structure, phase behavior, and self-assembly of complex fluids. She specializes in molecular dynamics simulations and molecular theories (classical density functional theory and polymer field theory) to study polymer nanocomposites, charged polymers, and ionomers. Her work at the Center for Integrated Nanotechnologies bridges fundamental theory and user-facility science, enabling collaborations across Sandia and Los Alamos. She began her career with postdoctoral research on polymer rheology and block copolymer thin films, building deep expertise in both simulation and analytical approaches. A UC Santa Barbara Ph.D. in physics and a summa cum laude BA in physics and mathematics from Pomona College underpin her quantitative rigor. Beyond modeling, she has a track record of translating theoretical insights into materials-relevant predictions that inform experimental exploration.
