Paige is a postdoctoral fellow working on Multisite Lambda Dynamics (MSLD) applications and developing machine learning approaches to improve sampling and exploration of alchemical spaces. She holds two B.S. degrees from the Colorado School of Mines in Chemistry (with a biochemistry specialty) and Chemical & Biochemical Engineering. Paige completed her doctoral studies at The Ohio State University under the mentorship of John M. Herbert, where her research centered on software and protocol development for computational quantum mechanical methods to investigate protein thermochemistry. Outside of the lab, Paige enjoys rock climbing, running with her dog, and reading.

Praveen is a Postdoctoral Research Fellow in the Brooks lab at the University of Michigan, working at the intersection of enhanced sampling methods and lambda dynamics. He completed his PhD at the University of California, Irvine, where he researched the application of enhanced sampling strategies to study rare events in biomolecular systems.
