About us:
The broad area of our research is computational molecular biophysics and theoretical physical chemistry. The primary goal is to employ state of the art computational methodologies primarily based on statistical mechanics to solve realistic problems in the interdisciplinary areas of chemistry, physics and biology. Overall, we take an approach of molecular thermodynamics to connect molecular interactions and dynamics to their function and properties. We work on a wide range of problems starting from small molecules (as small as water!) to large biomolecular assemblies and self-assembly of amphiphilic molecules.
A few specific topics of current research are:
