Dr Sheikh Imamul Hossain

Postdoctoral Research Fellow, Molec

Australian Institute for Bioengineering and Nanotechnology

Overview

I am working as a postdoctoral research fellow (molecular dynamics) at the Australian Institute for Bioengineering and Nanotechnology – AIBN at the University of Queensland. Previously, I completed my postdoctoral work at the University of Sydney, funded by the Australian Research Council (ARC) Centre of Excellence in Exciton Science and at the University of Technology Sydney (UTS).

A mathematician by training, I was awarded my PhD in computational biophysics from UTS in 2020 for my work on how nanoparticles interact with lung surfactant monolayers using Molecular Dynamics (MD) simulations. I worked on industry and ARC-funded projects to expand my computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and computational biophysics knowledge and skills. My research mainly focuses on computational biophysics and materials, including membranes, membrane-protein interaction, polymers, interactions between small molecules with membranes, and nanoparticle simulation in biological environments.
