RESEARCH INTEREST
I am interested in applying computational methods to characterize the interactions between biomolecules and nanoparticles. In particular, I am leveraging MD simulations and machine learning models to aid the screening and discovery of potential pharmacophores. Advances in this research may have potential for various industrial applications in the fields of drug designing and delivery, biosensor sensitivity improvement, and synthetic enzyme development.
