INTRODUCTION

WORK EXPERIENCE

  1. Molecular Dynamics Expert
    02/2019-05/2021
    Department of Chemistry
    University of Cincinnati, OH, 45239, USA
    As a Postdoctoral Associate:
    • Expanded the use of Molecular dynamics techniques to study protein conformational changes.
    • Perform the homology modelling to construct an atomic-resolution model of the “target” protein from its amino acid sequence and an experimental three-dimensional structure of a related homologous protein (the “template”).
    • Participated in a collaborative research team involved in the development of the project.
    • Provided technical assistance as subject matter expert in computational chemistry.
    • Published 1 first-author paper and 2 first-author publications in preparation.
    • Mentored and trained more than 5 graduate and undergraduate students.
  2. Homology modelling expert
    11/2014-11/2018
    SISSA

    As a Doctoral Student:
    • Develop web server to perform Coarse-grained molecular dynamics (MERMAID).
    • Perform homology modeling and molecular dynamics of membrane proteins.
    • Published 2 first-author research publications.
  3. Computational Chemist
    08/2013-03/2014

    As a Master’s Student:
    • Developed 3D-QSAR models for the development of protein kinase inhibitors as new potential anti-tubercular agents.
    • Perform molecular dynamics simulations to study structural insights for design of subtype-selective peroxisome proliferator activated receptor-α (PPAR-α) agonists.
    • Collaborate in multiple cross-disciplinary projects, which results in 13 research publications with 1 first author, 2 second author and 1 book chapter.
