Project Summary
PhD Project: Advanced computational electromagnetism for nanophotonics and biosensing
My research involves developing advanced cutting-edge computational techniques in molecular dynamics and density functional theory to analyse single-molecule sensor data and visualise the structural dynamics of single proteins. This project includes a 2-year research attachment programme at A*STAR in Singapore, where I will use the High Performance Computing facilities to achieve these goals.
Supervisors: Prof Frank Vollmer and Dr Jolly Xavier Palackappillil
