Research Interests: - My research specialization is in the field of structural biology and computational biophysics, with emphasis in molecular dynamic simulations of different bio constitutes (e.g. Lipids, proteins, carbohydrates). I aimed to understand biologically relevant processes involving all sorts of bio-molecules from knowledge of their pairwise interactions.
