I worked in Ksenia Bravaya's theoretical and computational quantum chemistry group. My research focused on the elucidation of the mechanistic enzymology of cytochrome c enzymes using hybrid approaches of quantum mechanics and classical mechanics. I simulated and characterized redox processes and electron transfer in complex biomolecules using polarizable QM/BioEFP methods.
