      Conducting computational research in the Structural Bioinformatics of Proteins group. Currently focused on improving refinement of DNA/RNA structures using DNATCO(https://www.dnatco.org) conformers as well as continuing development of the ProSHADE library. Also started working on software for water molecules position prediction in atomic models and density maps. Conducting computational research in the Structural Bioinformatics of Proteins group.
