Clemson University Professor Dr. Sarupria will give a brief introduction to molecular modeling and computer simulations and provide some examples of how these can provide fundamental insights into materials properties. She will talk about two projects, the first indicating how simulations can help understand protein stability and function, and the second related to on-going work on dendritic polymers and their development or water purification applications.
Dr. Sarupria received her B. Tech degree from Chaitanya Bharathi Institute of Technology in Hyderabad, India, M.E. degree from Texas A&M University, College Station, and Ph. D. degree from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, all degrees in Chemical Engineering. She was a postdoctoral researcher at Princeton University before joining Clemson University in Spring 2012. Her current work involves understanding liquid-to-solid transitions in aqueous systems, specifically nucleation of ice and gas hydrates, and developing computationally viable models to study the biological self-assembly and polymeric systems. We look forward to seeing you there!
