BioSim Research Group

BioSIM welcomes professor María Aznar Palenzuela, from the Universidad de Cabo Verde, for a mobility period at BioSIM, within the scope of the ERASMUS+ program. Prof. María Aznar Palenzuela research interests lie at the interface of physics and biology, focusing in particular on the physical properties of viruses, specifically the mechanical aspects and assembly of viral capsids. She developed a virus model and implemented it in C++ software, utilizing two simulation techniques: Monte Carlo (MC) simulations for studying optimal structures and stability of viral shells, and Brownian Dynamics (BD) simulations for analyzing assembly dynamics and mechanical responses....
