I am a computational biophysicist interested in understanding how molecular interactions govern the structure, dynamics, and organization of biomolecular systems. My research combines all-atom and coarse-grained molecular dynamics simulations, enhanced-sampling techniques, and statistical-mechanical approaches to investigate processes across different spatial and temporal scales.
My current research focuses on nucleosome and chromatin dynamics, particularly how histone variants, DNA sequence, and protein interactions modulate nucleosome stability and DNA accessibility. More broadly, I am interested in developing multiscale computational approaches that connect molecular-level interactions with chromatin organization and genome dynamics.
