Greetings! I am Jaber Al Hossain, a researcher in nanoscale interfacial transport, molecular dynamics simulation, and continuum breakdown under extreme confinement. I recently completed my Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering at the University of Ulsan, South Korea, under the supervision of Professor BoHung Kim.
My research focuses on molecular transport through nanopores, carbon nanotubes, nanogrooves, and sub-1 nm confined channels. I use molecular dynamics simulations to understand how wall–fluid interactions, molecular layering, slip, ion hydration, and geometric confinement control transport behavior beyond the classical continuum framework.
My recent work connects molecular-scale transport physics with emerging needs in semiconductor manufacturing, including wafer cleaning, etching, ion transport, and process modeling at the sub-nanometer scale. I am particularly interested in developing molecular-to-continuum modeling strategies for next-generation nanofluidic and semiconductor process applications.

This study uses molecular dynamics simulations to show how liquid transport in nanogrooves changes as confinement approaches the one-nanometer scale. Strong molecular layering and exclusion reduce the accessible flow region, causing continuum predictions to break down. The results provide a geometry-resolved transport baseline for nanogroove design relevant to next-generation semiconductor etching.
At the molecular scale, the repulsive forces acting inside a nanopore become more dominant; considering proper boundary approximation is essential for pores with a sub-1 nm radius for pressure-driven flow through the nanoporous graphene membrane applications.
