Presenter Boris Fain Boris Fain started his scientific career by writing the equations that governed the shapes of DNA. He then worked with Michael Levitt to bring the methods of Physics and Mathematics into computational biology, where and his colleagues, using knot theory, designed the very first fingerprint of protein structure. Following that he led… Continue reading Boris Fain | Predictive Molecular Simulation
Presenter Emanuele Penocchio Emanuele Penocchio is a postdoc in the Department of Chemistry at Northwestern University. After studying chemistry, he obtained a Ph.D. in Physics in 2022, with a thesis on the non-equilibrium thermodynamics of chemical reaction networks. His research focuses on the physical chemistry underlying chemical systems that consume energy to perform functions. Emanuele… Continue reading E.
