Undergraduate student Ian Welland was awarded the 2015 Tsong Prize for Undergraduate Research in the Department of Physics at Arizona State University for his work on Quantifying Solvent Kinetics with Kinetic Networks.

This summer’s Lab Book Club is designed to provide a thorough review of fundamental concepts for understanding biomolecular simulation and, in particular,molecular dynamics simulations (MD). The material is primarily based on chapters from Statistical Mechanics: Theory and Molecular Simulation by Mark Tuckerman.

Ian Welland graduated from ASU with a degree in physics in Summer 2015 and started in the Joint CMU-Pitt Ph.D. Program in Computational Biology in Fall 2015. During his time in Beckstein Lab, Ian worked on the problem of how to quantitatively describe and analyze the solvation of macromolecules
