Summary

I’m a thinker musing between science, society, music & food. I have completed my doctoral study from Lund University, Sweden where work revolved around understanding the role of water molecule in protein-ligand binding and understanding the role of aromatic ring flipping & transient loop opening in protein dynamics using molecular dynamics simulation and enhanced sampling. During my Postdoctoral research at University of Pennsylvania, USA on kinetics and thermodynamics associated with aromatic ring flip mediated cryptic pocket opening in biomolecules using Markov state modeling & enhanced sampling. Currently I am a Senior Scientist at Redesign Science working in the interface of molecular simulation and machine learning.
