Education:
- Ph.D. in Chemical & Biochemical Engineering, Rutgers University, 2015
- B.S. in Chemical and Biological Engineering, Koç University, 2011
Research interests:
I am interested in designing and implementing various nanoscopic and mesoscopic simulation techniques including all-atom and coarse-grained molecular dynamics, enhanced free energy sampling and multiscale modeling to study behavior of materials ranging from protein molecules and biomaterials to synthetic polymers and carbon based materials.
Current projects include:
- Modeling aqueous solutions and transport of molecules in carbon nanotubes
- Multiscale modeling of biomolecules
- Application of enhanced free energy sampling methods in material and biological systems
