Summary
Mark Oakley is a Research Fellow with 13 years of experience in theoretical and computational chemistry, based in England. He specializes in ab initio excited-state calculations, circular dichroism of proteins and peptidomimetics, and constructing potential energy surfaces, alongside Monte Carlo simulations of phase equilibria and coarse-grained models for protein misfolding and aggregation. His work bridges deep quantum-chemical methods and mesoscale modelling, enabling insights into both electronic spectroscopy and emergent aggregation behavior. Proficient in Fortran and Java, he combines hands-on programming with rigorous academic research developed during a PhD at the University of Bristol and subsequent fellowships at Nottingham and Birmingham. Colleagues value his ability to translate complex ab initio results into tractable models for larger biological systems, a non-obvious strength that accelerates interdisciplinary collaboration.
