Daniel is a Chemical Engineering Ph.D. student from the National University of Colombia - Medellin campus. Originally from Barranquilla, Colombia, he is interested in applying graph neural networks to predict peptide properties. In his free time, he enjoys photography, traveling, sports, and hiking. He also likes sharing wine or beer and trying international cuisine with friends.
Md Jakir Hossen
was7vu [at] virginia [dot] edu
Jakir studies the spatial arrangement of functional groups commonly found in natural amino acid sequences. His work illustrates the collective contributions of these groups, influenced by their separation by non-polar residues, common in complex biomolecular systems. This research has practical applications in tuning the interfacial properties of peptide-functionalized surfaces. He frequently uses computational tools such as AMBER, GROMACS, and INDUS. Outside the lab, Jakir enjoys cricket, soccer, and badminton.
Adel Nematipour
drf5jn [at] virginia [dot] edu
Adel is a Chemical Engineering Ph.D. student at the University of Virginia. He earned his master's degree from the University of Tehran in 2021. He is interested in exploring pattern formation on functionalized surfaces using machine learning and molecular simulation. In his leisure time, he listens to music a lot, enjoys watching or playing soccer, hangs out with friends, and sometimes goes hiking.
Shimanto Roy
dtc9ry [at] virginia [dot] edu
Shimanto joined UVA in 2023 as a Chemical Engineering Ph.D student. He completed his bachelors from Bangladesh University of Engineering & Technology (BUET). He is interested in using molecular dynamics and machine learning to predict supramolecularity in designing synthetic peptides. He enjoys cooking in free time. He loves to watch kDramas and Marvel films and to hang out with friends and trying new foods and places .
Benson Harlan
wka8ug [at] virginia [dot] edu
Benson is a 3rd year undergraduate Chemical Engineering student at the University of Virginia. He is currently working with the Bilodeau research group to help predict the behavior of peptides using machine learning. In his free time, he enjoys painting, playing piano, hiking, video games, as well as keeping up to date on the best movies.
Masa Murry
