Parth Chaturvedi

Parth Chaturvedi is a Researcher in the Department of Physics at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign's College of Liberal Arts & Sciences, working within Professor Aleksei Aksimentiev's computational biophysics research group. His office is located in the Loomis Laboratory of Physics in Urbana, Illinois.

His academic background includes:

• Master of Science in Physics from Indian Institute of Science Education and Research, Bhopal (IISERB)
• PhD in Chemistry from University of Texas at El Paso

Chaturvedi specializes in computational modeling of mature virions using atomistic and coarse-grained molecular dynamics approaches. His research focuses on viral structure and dynamics at molecular resolution, contributing to antiviral drug design and vaccine development. Key methodologies include:

• Advanced biomolecular simulation techniques
• Physics-based modeling of biological macromolecules
• Integration with DNA-protein interaction studies
• Application of nanopore and synthetic molecular systems frameworks

He actively contributes to the group's work on DNA nanotechnology, CUFIX force field development, and grid-steered molecular dynamics methodologies.
