Aufgabengebiete

  • Institut für Visual Computing
  • Visual Computing in der Theoretischen Chemie
  • Projekt Wolf2Pack: Newtonsche molekulare Modellierung. Um zuverlässige und akkurate Kräftefelder zu generieren, muss eine große Menge von Molekülen analysiert werden. Diese großen Datenmengen werden mithilfe des hochauflösenden HORNET Displays visualisiert und analysiert.

  • 2 U.S. Patent für einen pharmakologisch aktiven Wirkstoff, der Brustkrebs am Tiermodell (Maus) hemmt
  • Forschungsinteressen im Gebiet der Theoretischen Chemie (siehe auch ausführlicher Lebenslauf-Research Highlights):
    1. Force-field development for molecular modeling (e.g. Glycam06, Wolf2Pack)
    2. Biological modeling and drug design (e.g carbohydrates, lipids, breast cancer, ribosome)
    3. Modeling molecular nonbonded clusters (e.g. water clusters)
  • Betreuung von Studierenden in Forschungsprojekten: Insgesamt 44 Undergraduate students, 2 Master students, 2 Doctoral students
  • Bisherige Lehrveranstaltungen u.a. Physical Chemistry, Introduction to computational chemistry methods und The history of America's Adirondack Park
