Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolPaul Maragakis is a scientist with 14 years of experience applying physics and computational methods to biological problems, currently using molecular simulation to reveal microscopic mechanisms of proteins at D. E. Shaw Research. His trajectory spans single-atom laser-atom interaction theory at Max Planck to many-body biochemical systems at Harvard, combining deep expertise in non-equilibrium thermodynamics, transition pathways, and MD simulation. Comfortable across dozens of programming languages and operating systems, he bridges theoretical physics, chemistry, and practical computational engineering to accelerate drug discovery. Trained under leaders like Martin Karplus and Tim Kaxiras, he brings rigorous theoretical intuition to large-scale, production-grade simulations. Based in New York, he’s driven by translating fundamental insights into technologies that can change the world, often tackling problems at scales few researchers straddle.
