Carmen Domene

My research uses computational techniques to study the structure and dynamics of biological systems. My aim is to understand biochemical and biophysical processes from a microscopic perspective and thereby aid in interpreting and devising experiments. Matching methods to problems is necessary and requires development, implementation, and optimization of novel simulation tools. Pursuit of this has taken me into a number of branches of theoretical chemistry including quantum chemistry, the theory of electronic structure and intermolecular interactions, statistical mechanics, ab initio and classical computer simulation and spectroscopy. Collaboration with experimentalists from different communities is a crucial part of my research strategy.
