Summary
Matthew Mostrom is a physical chemist with a PhD from NC State who brings nine years of hands-on experience in computational method and force field development for materials and interfacial modeling. He combines deep formal training in statistical mechanics with practical expertise in Python, C++, Julia, PyTorch and SQL to build and deploy ML-driven models and enterprise Monte Carlo simulation code (MPMC). His work spans many-body van der Waals methods, physics-based force field construction with OpenFF, and simulated spectroscopy that predicted novel interfacial modes later confirmed experimentally. A dual U.S.–French citizen based in Raleigh, he has a strong mentoring track record and a habit of cross-pollinating practices across research groups to accelerate robust, reproducible code and science. Notably, he pairs theoretical rigor with practical software authorship, making him well suited to transition complex academic tools into industry-ready solutions.
