About Me

Muhammad Risyad Hasyim is a postdoctoral fellow at the Simons Center for Computational Physical Chemistry at NYU.

His current research explores three interconnected areas: molecular polaritonics, understanding how chemistry is modified inside optical cavities; machine learning for molecular simulations, developing algorithms and datasets for computational chemistry; and glassy dynamics, investigating the dynamics and phase behavior of glass-forming liquids.

Dr. Hasyim is actively seeking faculty tenure-track positions where he can establish an independent research program focused on the control and emergence of nonequilibrium materials through disorder, coupling, and computation across scales. For more details, see his Faculty Statement.

The tools of his trade include theory, through statistical physics, field theories, and electronic structure theory, and computer simulations, such as Monte Carlo, molecular dynamics, and rare-event sampling.

Dr. Hasyim completed his Ph.D. at the Department of Chemical & Biomolecular Engineering @ UC - Berkeley working with Prof. Kranthi Mandadapu. He attended Penn State for undergraduate studies and performed research under Prof. Ramakrishnan Rajagopalan (focusing on electrochemical capacitors) and Prof. Michael T. Lanagan (focusing on composite solid electrolytes).
