Academic Achievements
Honors include Searle Scholarship, NSF CAREER Award, Sloan Fellowship, APS Fellowship, and participation in the 2010 and 2014 Latke-Hamantash Debates.
Research Experience
Professor at the University of Chicago since 2003. Much of his current work is collaborative, and many of his students and postdoctoral scholars are jointly mentored by experimentalists and/or applied mathematicians. Research directions include developing computational methods to interpret 2D infrared spectra, studying intrinsically disordered proteins, developing and applying methods for sampling nonlinear dynamical systems, and understanding hallmark features of active biological systems.
Education
Undergraduate (AB in Biochemical Sciences, 1994) and graduate (PhD in Biophysics, 1999) degrees at Harvard University, advisor Martin Karplus; Postdoctoral studies at the University of Oxford (1999-2001), using QM/MM methods to elucidate mechanisms of DNA repair; University of California, Berkeley (2001-2003), working with David Chandler on transition path sampling and Arup Chakraborty on models of T lymphocyte signaling.
Background
Research interests: Accelerating molecular simulations, Modeling living systems, Analyzing biological data. Professional field: Chemistry, Biophysics. Brief introduction: Professor of Chemistry and Deputy Dean of the Physical Sciences Division at the University of Chicago. Notable contributions in machine learning methods for interpreting complex biomolecular simulations, sampling methods for systems far from equilibrium, and models of hematopoietic cell fate choice.
