Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolParashara Shamaprasad is a postdoctoral researcher and computational modeler with a Ph.D. in Chemical Engineering and eight years of experience applying multiscale molecular simulations to biological and materials problems. He develops and validates atomistic and coarse-grained models—bridging simulation and experiment—to study skin lipid membranes, membrane asymmetry, and cholesterol flip-flop using GROMACS, HOOMD-Blue, PLUMED and AI-informed enhanced sampling. His work spans academia and industry collaborations (Eli Lilly, Apeel) and includes open-source contributions to the MoSDeF ecosystem and a suite of analysis tools that streamline reproducible simulation workflows. He has a track record of translating scattering and spectroscopy data into validated models, mentoring students, and securing computational resources for large-scale studies. Based in Nashville, he combines rigorous physics-based parameterization with practical deployment on cloud/HPC environments, often building Dockerized simulation pipelines from scratch.
