Bart Markvoort

Dr. Bart Markvoort is an Assistant Professor in the Computational Biology group at Eindhoven University of Technology's Department of Biomedical Engineering. He heads the molecular simulations subgroup and is a core member of the Institute for Complex Molecular Systems (ICMS). His research focuses on molecular simulations of self-assembly and self-organization in biological systems, with applications in phospholipid membranes, proteins, DNA, supramolecular copolymerizations, and nanoparticles using techniques like molecular dynamics and Monte Carlo simulations.

Dr. Markvoort's work spans synthetic biology, DNA nanotechnology, bioinformatics, and multi-scale modeling. His research employs computational methods as a 'digital microscope' to reveal how atomic-level interactions drive complex molecular dynamics. Current projects include developing hybrid simulation techniques and applying them to biologically relevant systems.

His publications demonstrate a consistent focus on supramolecular chemistry, protein interactions, and membrane biophysics, with recent work exploring Bayesian optimization for complex systems and in-situ mapping of polymer dynamics.
