Lucas Attia

I am PhD researcher in chemical engineering at MIT working in the Doyle Group funded as a DOE Computational Science Graduate Fellow. My thesis combines expertise in nanotechnology, molecular simulation, and cheminformatics towards engineering approaches in small molecule nanoformulation to enable oral bioavailability. I earned my undergraduate degree at the University of Delaware in the department of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering, with minors in Computer Science and Chemistry. I am passionate about leveraging computational modeling to guide, inform, and accelerate the design of novel molecules and materials. An accomplished scientific communicator, I have contributed to 12 peer-reviewed publications and over 60 presentations at conferences and symposia, and have delivered 12 award-winning presentations. I enjoy fostering collaboration and mentorship within research environments.
