Welcome to the Pak Lab (Department of Chemical and Biological Engineering, Colorado School of Mines). Our vision is to advance (bio)macromolecular materials design by pioneering multiscale computational methods and elucidating spatiotemporal organization principles
Our Research
Our research involves the investigation of:
Thermodynamic and kinetic control over (bio)macromolecular assemblies through modification of molecular building blocks (e.g. proteins) and environmental factors
Fundamental structure-dynamics-function relationships in biological systems to inspire emergent biomaterial properties or to identify novel biomedical strategies
Multiscale computational algorithms (e.g. coarse-graining) to enable biomolecular simulations that require time and length scales inaccessible to atomic-resolution simulations
Our Team
Our team brings together a diverse group of undergraduate students, graduate researchers, and postdoctoral scholars. Our members span chemical engineering, materials science, chemistry, computer science, applied mathematics, and quantitative biosciences at Colorado School of Mines (Golden, CO).
