My research is done in the field of computational chemistry and biochemistry with the focus is on protein function and applications on systems like cytochrome c oxidase, phytochromes, DNA-repair mechanism, bacterial cell division proteins. Methods include Quantum Chemistry, Molecular Modelling, Molecular Dynamics (classical and accelerated), QM/MM, postprocessing with Python. My new project is on the function of hydrogenase enzymes, which can be intergrated in hydrogenase-based biofuel cells.
