The Ahn Lab aims to investigate important biological systems, materials, and phenomena on an atomic scale using molecular dynamics (MD) simulations and to develop enhanced sampling methods for MD simulations, thereby making them true computational microscopes. Specifically, we examine various systems, ranging from proteins to nanoclusters, using the weighted ensemble method (WE) to efficiently sample atomistic pathways and mechanisms. We also develop methods for WE to make it state-of-the-art, with a focus on kinetic sampling. 

The Ahn Lab is recruiting. I can currently take Master's students, Ph.D. students, and postdocs who come with a fellowship, training grant, or TA support. If you are applying for a fellowship and want to work with me, email me early, and I will help with the application. I am also happy to co-advise.

We will be taking undergraduate students starting from June 2027. Interested undergraduate students should email Prof. Ahn with his/her/their unofficial transcript, resume, and a statement of interest in the lab.
