Joel Gallardo
Chemistry PhD Student, Loverde Lab
College of Staten Island - Expected Graduation: 2029
Objective
Looking for summer research opportunities for 2025 in the field of computational chemistry with research focusing on drug discovery, drug design, drug delivery or something of the like. Open to learning more about companies or organizations that use artificial intelligence or machine learning.
Bio
I am a native New Yorker who started in a community college within CUNY and am now continuing my PhD in CUNY. My work currently consists of simulating the self assembly of multiple drug amphiphiles containing Camptothecin in its structure using advanced sampling methods in molecular dynamics simulations. The information obtained from these computational studies are compared to experimental evidence taken from researchers at Johns Hopkins university.
Technical Skills
H-NMR, C-NMR, COSY, NOESY, Fluorescence and UV-vis spectroscopy, advanced sampling methods related to molecular dynamics simulations.
Professional Development Skills
• Foundations of molecular simulations workshop– Attended The 7th Institute for (I-CoMSE )Computational Molecular science education on July/8/2024.
