Molecular Dynamics Simulation
For my Applied Math senior capstone project I am creating a browser-based, dynamic, 3-dimensional simulation of organic molecules. Inspired by the interactivity of D3.js’ Force Layout, my goal is to augment the classic ball and stick representation of organic molecules to reflect the dynamic relationship of atoms. Using a force-based layout scheme for graph drawing and a Newtonian mechanical model for molecular motion I will implement the simulation as a front-end web application such that it can be run entirely on a web browser. For more information on the my mathematical model and implementation check out my project proposal.
