Description of Research
|
Summary Statement of Research Interests
|
|
Professor Warshel researches problems in modern biophysical chemistry. He and his coworkers have pioneered several of the most effective models for computer simulations of biological molecule. His early works paved the way for quantitative theoretical studies of enzymatic reactions. He also studies the energetics and dynamics of chemical processes in solution, which include the use and development of various QM/MM approaches and related models for quantitative simulations of chemical reactions in solutions.
