Biography
Dr. Ravi Venkatramani is an Assistant Professor at the Department of Chemical Sciences, TIFR. His woek focuses on computational algorithms and theoretical formalisms to tackle diverse problems in molecular biophysics, biochemistry, and physical chemistry. We seek an understanding of fundamental processes in organic and biological systems in molecular, atomisitic, and electronic detail. The theme of our research is to quantitatively describe how the thermal environment drives molecular and biomolecular motions (molecular dynamics) and then to examine how such motions might modulate physicochemical processes in nature and technology.
Research Interest
Theoretical and computational molecular biophysics, Biochemistry, and physical Chemistry.
