Research Interests:

With the rapid evolution of computational power, molecular simulations are becoming increasingly powerful technique for studying various phenomena across several branches of science. We develop and apply multi-scale modeling methods to address various problems at the interface between materials science (mostly soft matters) and biophysics. Our current research interest includes development and applications of coarse-grained models for polymers, surfactants and other complex molecules with a particular focus to industrial applications. We also study protein-membrane interactions with atomistic and coarse-grained resolutions to understand various cellular processes.
