Montserrat Penaloza-Amion, PhD

I am a Doctor of Computational Chemistry with experience in different simulation methodologies in soft matter, from quantum to classical atomistic technique. My research has been driven by two main passions: drug discovery and protein and polymer folding.

I am also a passionate Chemistry teacher and volunteer, and I love to share my excitement about molecular simulations with the world.

In my research, I use computational methods to study the structure and dynamics of soft materials, such as proteins, polymers, and biological membranes. I am particularly interested in understanding how these materials interact with each other and with their environment. My work has the potential to lead to new drug discoveries and to improve our understanding of fundamental biological processes.

Outside of my research, I enjoy teaching Chemistry and volunteering to promote science education. I believe that everyone should have the opportunity to learn about the fascinating world of chemistry and to appreciate the power of computational simulation.
