Latest Tech-Transfer Workshop from AquaMem: "Onsite Computational Chemistry Workshop for Corporate and Government Scientists and Engineers" Increase Your R&D Efficiency to the Speed of Light |
About Us: ASC was formed in 2003 by Dr. Harry Ridgway (LinkedIn Profile | 1-page CV)
to assist government, academia and companies in
their R&D quests. ASC offers independent and confidential expertise
and R&D services. A partial list of our valued current and past
clients may be viewed HERE. Click HERE to view Dr. Ridgway's CV. |
AquaMem services are focused in the following areas... |
Computer-Aided Materials
Design (CAMD)... Download ASC brochure | See recent 2017 JMS review | Image & Movie Gallery... Discovery and improvement of novel membrane polymers and inorganic zeolitic frameworks designed from the ground up for aqueous separations. Using cutting-edge molecular dynamics (MD) simulations at the fully atomistic scale, we predict the properties of new membrane materials and how they will behave in normal to extreme environments. See "Nanostructured Materials", Chap. 10 |
Dynamic Chemical Reaction
Simulations... See 2017 and 2018 publication | Analysis of disinfection by-product (DBP) formation reactions using hybrid quantum mechanics/molecular mechanics (QM/MM) algorithms. To include complex solvation effects on DBP formation, our custom algorithms carry out these critical reactions in aqueous solution. Click HERE to view a description of the approach. Surface catalytic processes can also be modeled. See Image & Movie Gallery... |
In-Silico Drug Discovery & Design... View our latest drug discovery conference poster (PDF, ~2.5MB):
Discovery and de-novo design
of small-molecule antimicrobials targeting
human, animal and plant pathogens. We offer
comprehensive solutions, including target selection, bioinformatics, homology modeling and virtual ligand screening.
"Repurposing FDA-Approved Drugs as Snake Envenomation Antagonists" |
We apply the latest OpenFOAM/simFlow algorithms and software advances to predict aquesous flow behavior at microfluidic interfaces, such as modified membrane surfaces or biofilm channels. We model both non-porous and semi-porous materials, such as semi-permeable desalination or water reuse membrane materials. See Image & Movie Gallery... |
Science and technology of biofilms and biofouling control in industrial settings, especially across desalination and water reuse applications. Dr. Harry Ridgway has more than 35 years of experience in biofilm research and during the 1980s pioneered the first detailed studies of membrane biofilm development and biofouling control in RO membrane systems.

Immersive and Interactive Knowledge-Transfer Workshops
Conveniently held at your organization or a
remote location, our workshops/retreats focus
on
theoretical and pragmatic aspects of molecular modeling, drug discovery, biofilm science, and more.
We use
cutting-edge software to
address important
issues in drug discovery and materials
modeling. |
