Hi, I'm Kuntal, a theoretical and computational chemist from Chicago, USA.

I am a theoretical and computational chemist currently pursuing my Ph.D. under the supervision of Prof. Gregory A. Voth in the Department of Chemistry at the University of Chicago. My research spans statistical mechanics, quantum mechanics and machine learning to investigate large and complex chemical and biomolecular systems. I specialize in developing coarse-grained models of viruses and in the computational modeling of chemical reactivity, with an emphasis on connecting molecular-scale mechanisms to mesoscale biological function. I am proficient in scientific computing, including Python, high-performance computing environments, and molecular dynamics software, and I am interested in applying these skills to problems in biotech and pharmaceutical discovery.

Previously, I did my Master's from the Indian Institute of Technology Kanpur, and my Bachelor's from St. Xavier's College Kolkata (autonomous under University of Calcutta). Outside work, I love art, cinema, music, cricket and food!
