Research interests:

In my research, I focus on the simulation of chemical transitions in large and complex molecular systems (enzymatic reactions, supramolecular catalysis, etc.). For this purpose, I use the entire toolbox of modern theoretical methods, ranging from pure quantum chemistry to molecular mechanics. Special focus lies on the application of enhanced sampling algorithms (adaptive biasing force method, metadynamics) for the calculation of equilibrium expectations and free energy profiles of such transitions.
