from the University of Maryland in 2001 for studies on nucleic acid force fields and base flipping with Alexander MacKerell Jr. He pursued postdoctoral training at Weill Medical College of Cornell University and the University of Chicago with Benoît Roux on implicit and implicit/explicit solvent models and free energy characterization of conformational change and allostery in macromolecules.

He is a member of the International Academy of Quantum Molecular Science. His research interests include quantum mechanics for the electronic wave functions of large molecules and crystals, including the many-body effects needed to describe reactions, force fields to describe the dynamics of atomic motions, molecular dynamics of large molecules and solids to determine the structure, vibrations, and dynamical processes of materials and statistical mechanics to describe phase diagrams (mixtures of molecules and polymers; metallic alloys)

Her research focuses on understanding the dynamical behavior of molecular systems using the tools of quantum mechanics, conformational searching and free energy simulation to answer questions about the structure, energy and dynamics of HIV-1 protease inhibitor drugs, Bergman cyclization in enediyne anti-cancer warhead drugs, homology modeling of membrane-bound desaturase enzymes, investigations of the flexibility of polyoligomeric silsesquioxane cages (POSS) , the role of O-to-N acyl migration in insect defense secretions, and oligomeric models for synthetic enzymes that display enzyme-like acyltransferase activity.

He has received numerous honors and awards, he was elected to the Executive Board of the International Society for Computational Biology in 2006, and President of the Biophysical Society in 2008. He has also served as President of the Association of Chairmen of Departments of Physiology, President of the International Society for Quantum Biology and Pharmacology, Chair of the Biophysics Section of the New York Academy of Sciences and Councilor of the Biophysical Society and of the New York Academy of Medicine.

From page 18... ...
A substantial portion of his work is devoted to the development, implementation, and optimization of novel simulation methodology and analysis tools. Current projects include interactions of peptides and proteins with lipids, molecular mechanisms of ion channel gating, and the dynamics of native and denatured proteins and their hydration water, among others.
