We are a computational chemistry group at Cornell University. Our focus is computational analytical chemistry: designing and understanding how algorithms give quantitative predictions in chemistry. Currently, our research centers on three areas:
After a long hiatus, we have finally updated our website! Welcome to the many new faces and exciting collaborations.
We have an job opportunity for a postdoctoral researcher.
A detailed job description can be found here.
Update: This position has been filled, and Kwanghwi Je will be joining us in the summer.
Joshua and Diego have joined the lab as our first graduate students!
Erik is a Professor of Chemistry at Cornell University. He received his PhD from the University of Chicago working with Profs. Aaron Dinner and Jonathan Weare. He then did a postdoc at the Flatiron Institute CCM, working with Prof. Risi Kondor, Dr. Pilar Cossio, and Dr. Sonya Hanson.
Jake is a moonshot enthusiast who has worn many hats: algorithms researcher, amateur chemist, software engineer, roboticist, vulnerability researcher and electronics hobbyist. He is currently in the lab as a joint undergraduate researcher and part-time software developer.
Joshua is a graduate student in the Cornell Chemistry Department. His work focuses on developing new probabilistic machine learning algorithms for cryo-EM data.
Diego is a graduate student in the Cornell Center for Applied Math, jointly advised by Prof. Yunan Yang. His work focuses on applying Wasserstein flows to the analysis of cryo-EM data.
Kawamura is a graduate student in the Cornell Biophysics program. She works on expanding the limits of cryo-EM to work on protein disordered regions.
Wenzhe Chen is a graduate student joint with Hening Lin at the University of Chicago. He works on finetuning and repurposing structure prediction tools to better match experimental data.
Kwanghwi Je is a postdoctoral researcher. He earned his doctorate from the University of Michigan. His expertise lies in using molecular simulation techniques to investigate biomolecular dynamics and phase behavior of colloidal nanoparticles. Beyond the lab, he enjoys running and exploring new places.
Yafet is a sophomore at Cornell University. He is working on developing algorithms to analyze cryo-EM images of nanoparticles.
Emily is a graduate student in Cornell's Center for Applied Math. She is working jointly with Prof. Anil Damle on developing faster algorithms for analyzing large EM datasets.
Joshua is a graduate student in Cornell's Chemical Engineering program. Working together with Profs. Chris Alabi and Alexander Terenin, he is exploring more efficient algorithms for designing peptides.
Triet is a graduate student in the Cornell Chemistry Department working jointly with our group and Yao Yang's group. Triet is developing new representation learning algorithms for analyzing operando EM movies.
Zora is a graduate student in the Cornell Chemistry Department working jointly with our group and Yao Yang's group. Her research combines operando electron microscopy with computational analysis and machine learning.
Joshua is a graduate student in Cornell's Chemical Engineering program. Working together with Profs. Chris Alabi and Alexander Terenin, he is exploring more efficient algorithms for designing peptides.
Alain is a sophomore at Cornell. He is investigating how different probabilistic metrics affect the ensemble of structures we recover from cryo-EM experiments.
