I am a Post-Doctoral researcher at the Cancer Mutation Research Center at Chosun University (South Korea). I work primarily in Computer-Aided Drug Design and Bioinformatics.

I did my Ph.D. in bioinformatics at the Department of Biomedical Sciences at Chosun University under the supervision of Prof. Seung Joo Cho, in South Korea. My Master's degree in Information Technology was done at the Department of Computer Science and Engineering at Tezpur Univesity, during which I used data mining techniques to identify protein complexes in Protein-Protein Interaction networks. The study was carried out under the guidance of Prof. Rosy Sarmah.

I am trained in various data mining (in PPI networks) and molecular modeling techniques such as protein modeling, molecular docking, molecular dynamics simulation, enhanced sampling techniques, free energy calculation, virtual screening, and 3D quantitative structure-activity relationships (3D-QSAR) analysis. Over the years I have acquired programming skills in C, C++, Java, and python. I have also implemented the methods conceptualized in my Master's degree dissertation using java API. The implemented codes and executables are available here.

In several of my past projects, I have used classical MD to study protein-ligand binding interactions to understand the inhibitory mechanisms of medically important kinases. Currently, I am also exploring enhanced sampling techniques such as Gaussian accelerated MD (GaMD) and supervised MD to study the activation mechanism of serotonin receptors. At this point in my career, I am interested to acquire expertise in advanced molecular dynamics (MD) simulation techniques of biomolecules.
