Research:

My research interests are at the cross-roads of several fields: chemistry, biology, and physics. The research methods are based on computer simulation - hence the branch of science I pursue is computational chemistry. Areas of research in which I am active are the dynamics of protein side-chains, the development of QM/MM methods for studying chemical reactions in enzymes, and gas-phase reaction dynamics.
