Research Overview: Our research focuses on several problems in contemporary biophysics and condensed matter theory, using modern tools of statistical mechanics and molecular simulation:
- folding and design principles in proteins
- peptide structure, self-assembly, and aggregation
- water and aqueous solutions
- multiscale modeling and advanced molecular simulation methods
