Matt Burman

I completed my PhD at the university of York, within the physics of life team, using atomistic molecular dynamics to study structure formation in supercoiled DNA, with a focus on sequence-dependence in bubble and plectoneme formation. Following my PhD, I two and a half years working as a research software engineer developing software for protein-ligand binding free energy calculations using molecular dynamics, focusing on relative binding free energy calculations and enhanced sampling methods. In my role at the ICR I'll be working on the implementation of workflows for binding free energy calculations, as well as applying computational methods to the various drug discovery projects currently underway at the ICR.
