RESEARCH INTERESTS
- Molecular dynamics in biological processes is a challenging and exciting field of modern biophysics. I am interested in protein dynamics and the connection between protein dynamics and function. A deeper understanding of functionally significant protein motions is an important step toward the rational design of new proteins with interesting practical applications.
