Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolHenry Herbol is a Senior Research Scientist combining 11 years of hands-on experience in computational chemistry, machine learning, and materials science, with a Ph.D. from Cornell. He specializes in fusing optimization methods (quasi-Newton, Bayesian optimization, Gaussian processes) with atomistic simulations (MD and DFT) to tackle complex problems such as OLED materials and reactive behavior of hybrid organic–inorganic perovskites. At Universal Display Corporation he advances applied R&D while his prior work at Cornell and Johns Hopkins produced novel tools—like a user-friendly reactive force field implementation (SMRFF) and custom Bayesian pipelines—to explore large compositional and combinatorial spaces. Comfortable implementing and improving core algorithms (e.g., NEB) and custom simulation code, he bridges deep theory with practical, production-capable modeling. Based in Trenton, NJ, Henry brings a rare blend of mathematical rigor and simulation engineering that accelerates materials discovery beyond conventional trial-and-error approaches.
