Acknowledgments
I acknowledge insightful discussions from students of BE559 multiscale modeling of chemical and biological systems at the University of Pennsylvania, where the topics in this review are discussed as a one-semester course. I would like to thank my colleagues at the Penn Institute for Computational Science for insightful discussions on multiscale modeling over the years. I would like to take this opportunity to acknowledge the profound influence Keith E. Gubbins has had, as my PhD thesis advisor, as a professional mentor throughout my faculty career and through his books, Reid and Gubbins – applied statistical mechanics, and Gray and Gubbins – theory of molecular fluids 1 and 2. Funding for this work was provided in part through various grants from NSF, NIH, EU, and XSEDE. This report reflects a very subjective and personal journey, and I regret and apologize for not citing all of the influencers in the discipline of multiscale modeling.
