RESEARCH INTERESTS
In the Swanson Group we use multiscale simulations to understand biological processes. We are especially excited about biological methane capture and conversion to help address near-term warming. We use and develop a range of methods, from MD simulations to Multiscale Kinetic Modeling (MKM), to access the relevant time and length scales needed for mechanistic insight. Put simply, we aim to explain how important biomolecular systems work in order to enable societal advances.
