Professional info
I have been working in the fields of Computational Biology and Biophysics which has provided me an insight into the interdisciplinary world of application biology, chemistry and physics.
My research training (Ph.D. and post-doc) till date involved Molecular Dynamics Simulations as well as Quantum Chemistry. Nucleic acids (DNA and RNA), proteins and graphene/GO/CNT have been my target systems. My research has given me a through grip on understanding structure of all these biologically significant systems at the atomic-level.
