About me

I am a physicist using a computational microscope to understand relevant biological processes.

With the help of theoretical and computational methods, such as molecular dynamics simulations, quantum chemistry, and statistical physics methods, it is possible to unveil the reaction mechanisms of enzymes and macromolecules with unprecedented detail.

My research projects aim to elucidate these fundamental reaction mechanisms of function and inhibition of biologically relevant systems such as kinases and bioenergetic membrane proteins.

I worked as a postdoctoral scholar at the Department of Biochemistry & Molecular Biology at the University of Chicago until July of 2023. My main project used hybrid quantum mechanics/molecular mechanics (QM/MM) calculations combined with enhanced sampling methods to study Bruton's tyrosine kinase inhibition by ibrutinib.

My pronouns are she/her/hers.
