I'm your friendly neighborhood pH whisperer and protein fortune-teller. By day, I'm busy cooking up some seriously spicy Multisite Lambda Dynamics for Constant pH Molecular Dynamics simulations. My simulations are a maze of threading simulations, It's a total mystery how to run them to get the answers - a secret sauce recipe known only to yours truly. Even my AI buddies are left scratching their virtual heads! When the digital world gets too much, I vanish faster than a quantum fluctuation to kayak, hike, or just commune with nature. It's all in search of inspiration... or maybe I'm just hiding from my unfinished simulations and lab mates. Who knows? Just don't ask when my simulations will finish or predict the pH of my coffee - that's one mystery even I can't solve!

Furyal Ahmed holds a Ph.D. in Biophysics from the University of Michigan. She holds a B.S. in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology from Agnes Scott College. Her research interests focus on the structure and function of proteins implicated in disease. She is currently working on designing new methods to screen for inhibitors of cancer-causing targets. When not researching, Furyal enjoys cooking new dishes, knitting, and working on her painting skills.

Azam Hussain holds a Ph.D. in Computational Chemistry from the University of Michigan. His research focused on combining machine learning, molecular modeling, and experiments to enable new discoveries in protein engineering. Azam is a Scientific Software Engineer at Tamarind Bio.
