I earned my PhD at the University of Arizona where I wrote code to calculate non-Born-Oppenheimer, explicitly correlated wavefunctions for many-particle systems in the presence of electric fields. After that I worked as a post-doc at the National Institute of Standards and Technology developing novel DFT methods. In my 16 years at Rhodes College in Memphis, TN, I studied protein-ligand interactions in the context of Cholesterol drugs, anti-bacterial drugs, and treatments for Parkinson's Disease. Since moving to the UK I have been studying many-body effects in protein-ligand binding, the re-purposing of drugs and natural products for new diseases, and Machine-learning/AI methods to generate novel drug molecules.
