Research
Our group uses theoretical and computational methods to understand dynamics and function of large biomolecular systems such as proteins, DNA, and their complexes. Some of these methods are being developed in our lab. The computations are often performed on supercomputers such as VT's System-X. Group's research at a glance.
My philosophy is that among the multitude of models of
a complex system that one can build, only the very simple, robust solutions
may have a chance to represent reality. Complex solutions with tens of
fitting parameters may sometimes be of great practical use, but often
misrepresent reality (the geocentric model of the Universe is one such
example). As with any theoretical work, close
contact with experimental groups is essential.
