SERCA (Ca2+-ATPase) in a lipid membrane

An atomistic view of the membrane protein systems I study, combining molecular dynamics (MD) and quantum chemistry (QM/MM) to understand ion transport and molecular mechanisms.

I am a Ph.D. candidate in Chemistry at the University of Chicago, focused on Computational and Theoretical Chemistry, where I develop atomistic models for ion pumps. My research focuses on using computational techniques to study P-type ATPase pumps.

My work combines molecular dynamics simulations and quantum mechanics calculations to study complex biological systems. This involves using tools to analyze large time-series data.

My publications are also available on Google Scholar.
