* Simulation of two-phase boundary adsorption of di-block
copolymers using Monte Carlo-Metropolis energy minimization
* Examination of packing regularities in folded proteins
* Modeling of apoptosis by solving ordinary differential equations
and examination of effect of Nitric Oxide on apoptosis
I am a PhD student in the
Interdisciplinary Biomedical Graduate Program in the School of
Medicine at the University of Pittsburgh. My research interests
are modeling and simulations of biomolecules,
and investigating biomolecular sequence-structure-function
relationships. Previously, I studied the structure-based elucidation of the dynamics of
influenza virus
hemagglutinin
and herpes simplex virus glycoprotein
gD.
Currently, I am working on the development of new models and
simulation environments for multiscale investigation of cellular
dynamics by focusing on cell signalling and regulatory processes
related to cell cycle check points. I am also working in a group for
the creation of a web-based computational framework for protein
dynamics and interaction mechanisms.

methods and simple models such as GNM developed by Bahar and
coworkers.
