My group is interested in studying and characterizing the thermodynamic properties of soft matter systems. In particular, we focus on the thermodynamics of protein-protein interactions, the solvation behavior of organic drug-like molecules, and the structure-property relations of materials. We aim to understand the fundamental driving forces of these processes and use this knowledge for practical applications. To this end, we develop and apply integrative computational modeling tools that combine physics-based simulations (molecular dynamics) with recent developments in machine learning/artificial intelligence.

RIT researcher receives NIH funding to help design better drugs
Emiliano Brini, assistant professor in the School of Chemistry and Materials Science, has received an award from the National Institutes of Health to support his research on building the next generation of drugs. Brini and his team of students will develop computational tools that can predict the strength of the interaction between two proteins and how drugs will modify this interaction.
