Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolBenjamin Sikora is a research and development scientist and computational chemist with 11 years of experience applying multi-scale modeling and ICME principles to polymers and metals in manufacturing environments. Currently at Syensqo in the Kansas City area, he translates atomistic-to-continuum simulation tools into practical workflows that inform material design and process variability. Previously he led multi-scale modeling at Honeywell FM&T, overseeing >$1M in R&D, building Python toolchains and Jupyter-driven simulation environments, and driving Agile collaboration across disciplines. His academic work includes developing C++ free-energy software interoperable with multiple MD engines and novel MD/MC coupling for weak polyelectrolytes, reflecting deep expertise in both code and theory. He is passionate about integrating people and tools across organizations to expand polymer simulation adoption and preserve manufacturability knowledge. Less obvious: he blends hands-on software development with experimental insight, making him effective at turning complex simulations into actionable manufacturing decisions.
