Proteins are fundamental to the molecular machinery of life: they are nature's freight trains, construction cranes, and chemical factories. But the basic principles of this machinery are poorly understood. By developing new algorithms that combine machine learning, molecular simulation, and chemical physics, we seek to unpack fundamental protein biochemistry and help develop new therapeutics.
We have an job opportunity for a postdoctoral researcher. A detailed job description can be found here.
Joshua and Diego have joined the lab as our first graduate students!
Erik 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.
Ettore is a computational biochemist. He earned his M.S. in Chemistry and Pharmaceutical Technologies from the University of Ferrara and then pursued a Ph.D. in Experimental and Translational Medicine at the Catholic University of the Sacred Heart in Rome. His expertise lies in using molecular modeling techniques to investigate biomolecular dynamics and small molecule interactions.
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.
Jeffrey is a junior studying computer science with an external specialization in chemistry. He has previously worked in software engineering and is interested in solving computational and numerical problems in chemistry.
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. His work focuses on developing new strategies for dealing with noise in Markov State Models.
