Summary
Christopher Wilmer is an associate professor and materials researcher with 12 years of experience designing and modeling self-assembled porous crystals for gas storage, separation, and solar energy applications. He combines deep computational expertise in molecular-scale simulation with practical crystal engineering and database/UI design, bridging academic research and technology transfer as a former CTO at a cleantech spin-out. Based in the Greater Pittsburgh region, he leads research programs at the University of Pittsburgh informed by a PhD in molecular modeling and materials design from Northwestern. Notably, his work moves beyond theory to accelerate real-world nanomaterials discovery and deployment, reflecting a pragmatic focus on tools and interfaces that make complex simulations usable.
