Background:

When and where you received your PhD
1998, University of Maryland

Where you did your postdoc:
1998-2002, Johns Hopkins University

Research:
The Zuckerman group develops algorithms and software for understanding the molecular basis of protein behavior - especially large conformational changes and binding events. Principles of statistical mechanics underpin the group's efforts to develop rigorous, but fast, methods for calculating free energies of binding and to gain understanding of activated transitions in proteins and molecular systems generally.
