Dr. Sharon M. Loverde

The Loverde laboratory utilizes all-atomistic (AA) and coarse-grained molecular dynamics (CG-MD) simulations, in combination with advanced sampling techniques, to investigate soft and biological materials.  We are interested in molecular self-assembly, interactions of polymeric and model cellular membranes with hydrophobic drugs, and development of multi-scale models for polymers/biopolymers.  We have a strong interest in the development of collaborations with both experimental and theoretical/computational groups.
