My research involves different projects that cover a wide range of topics in the field of Computational Biophysics. I routinely use state-of-the-art simulation techniques, e.g., Molecular Dynamics (MD), Targeted Molecular Dynamics (TMD), Steered Molecular Dynamics (SMD), and Accelerated Molecular Dynamics (AMD) to investigate molecular-level details of a range of soft-matter biological entities such as protein, DNA, membrane, and ligands that mimic a variety of biological systems using GPUs cased in High-Performance Computing facility at FIU. I, mainly, use NAMD software and Gromacs to simulate the systems and calculate the free energy by performing enhanced sampling techniques- umbrella sampling, adaptive biasing force, and metadynamics. I also have hands-on experience in high-throughput screening of drug molecules using molecular docking with AutoDock Vina.
I collaborate with experimentalists from different fields to help set up experiments and interpret experimental results that mainly provide an understanding of biological facts from a microscopic perspective.
