See Dr. Ahn's Publications to learn more about how her lab uses Robust Methods to Sample Kinetics and structural Dynamics

One of the remaining grand challenges in the molecular dynamics simulation field is being able to sample kinetic properties (rate constants, pathways) efficiently. Hence, I have focused my efforts on developing new state-of-the-art methods that will be able to sample kinetics efficiently from molecular dynamics simulations. 

  • Gaussian accelerated molecular dynamics (GaMD) - Weighted ensemble (WE) method: a hybrid method that combines the two for efficient thermodynamic + kinetic sampling
