Affiliation
- PhD and Master positions are available.
- Accepted PhD candidates will receive a scholarship from the University of South Bohemia.
- we are working on molecular dynamics simulations of biomolecules such as proteins and DNA in non-aqueous media e.g. molecular liquids and ionic liquids. Also the interaction of graphene, graphene oxides and carbon nano-particles with ions and biomolecules.
Research
The main interests of the lab are computational study of :
- Solvation structure and dynamics of ions in aqueous solution
- Solvation structure and dynamics ions of in non-aqueous media
- Solvation structure and dynamics of proteins in organic solvents
- Interaction DNA with deep eutectic solvents
- Solvation structure and dynamics of proteins in ionic liquids
- Aggregation of porphyrins and carotenoids in aqueous media
- Interaction of ions with graphene and graphene oxide
- Interaction of Polyaromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs) with humic acid
- Interaction of graphene and graphene oxide with humic acid
- Interaction of micro-pollutants with soil organic matter
- Adsorption of micro-pollutants on metal oxide surfaces
