Summary of Expertise:
Primary Expertise Areas:

(links show more experts in each area)

Expertise Description:

enantiomer expert

molecular chirality expert

molecular dynamics expert

molecular modeling expert

 
MOLECULAR MODELING. Expert has expertise in implementing quantum mechanics, molecular mechanics, and statistical thermodynamics in tandem with molecular graphics in order to determine the energies, structures, and properties of organic and inorganic molecules. The focus of his research is to understand how chiral surfaces used in chromatography discriminate between enantiomers.

macromolecular modeling expert

 
The macromolecular modeling that Expert carries out uses empirical force fields for molecular mechanics and molecular dynamics of chiral polymers. These polymers are used as chiral stationary phases in chromatography. He evaluates where and how analytes bind to macromolecules.

stereochemistry expert

 
The interaction of stereoisomers with chiral surfaces is currently being examined by Expert's research group. He uses a variety of experimental methods, such as NMR spectroscopy and atomic force microscopy, and theoretical tools, such as molecular mechanics and molecular dynamics, to explain where enantiomers bind on these surfaces and what forces are responsible for enantiodifferentiation. He has also studied in detail various methods for conformational analysis.

molecular mechanics expert

 
For the past 15 years Expert has been involved with the development, parameterization, and implementation of empirical force fields for molecular mechanics. He routinely uses molecular mechanics to better understand the structures and properties of organic and inorganic molecules. He currently is using this method in studies of structure-activity relationships of drugs, and for studies of molecular recognition.

computational chemistry expert

 
Expert uses computational methods to expedite his chemical research and render it more practical. He uses quantum mechanics (especially semi-empirical molecular orbital theory), molecular mechanics, and statistical thermodynamics to understand molecular interactions. The focus of his work is on chiral discrimination.
