Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolMarc Baaden is a senior computational chemist and research leader with 13+ years at CNRS, currently serving as Délégué Scientifique and Directeur de recherche focused on interactive and immersive scientific visualization for molecular and membrane systems. He builds and deploys scientific software and computational infrastructure—leveraging tools like Amber, Gromacs, NAMD and UnityMol—to bridge theory, experiment and virtual reality for studies of ion channels, membranes and large conformational changes. Known for turning “wish there was a way…” problems into practical tools, he combines deep expertise in molecular modeling with a passion for making complex data accessible and engaging. Based in Paris, he also advises and trains teams on behavioral-science-informed productivity and runs workshops that blend mindful optimization with rigorous research practice. An early adopter of VR-driven analysis, he uniquely blends hands-on simulation methods with immersive visual analytics to reveal mechanistic insights that traditional approaches can miss.
