Student Researcher

Cal State LA, CA, USA March 2024-May 2025

• Worked under Dr. Negin Forouzesh throughout the summer PREC program sponsored by NSF to reproduce results previously created by her masters student.
• Intersection between chemistry and computer science to simulate protein-ligand binding for HIV-1 protease to aid drug discovery. Used AMBER and Curie cluster to run VR simulations of the protein-ligand docking.
• Moved forward in the research by further exploring 8 more different ligands that bind to HIV-1 Protease via the innovative VR approach to visualizing drug discovery.
