Our research program is focused on physical and chemical processes in complex systems:
• understanding how chemical reactions in enzymes work, with the eventual goal being
to use these principles to build new artificial bio-inspired catalysts,
• understanding how mutations in cardiac proteins cause disease and how we may treat such probl
• using machine learning to predict structural dynamics in protein complexes.
The methods we use involve large scale computation coupled with mathematical methods such as
rare event simulation, reaction coordinate identification, and unbiased free energy computation
along a reactive event.
