Saumyak Mukherjee, Ph.D.

I am a theoretical and computational chemist working at the interface of chemistry and biophysics. The primary focus of my research comprises of biomolecular interactions, solvation, dynamics, structure and thermodynamics. My systems of interest mainly include proteins, DNA, and lipids. Additionally, I am also interested in the complex physics of the low-temperature phases of water and the associated phase transitions. Molecular dynamics simulations and statistical mechanics form the backbone of my research.
