Junchao Xia

I am a research software engineer at Princeton University. I have both roles of research discovery and software development for most of my projects, from early simulations of liquid materials and earthquake models in the context of condensed matter and statistical physics, to recent simulations of protein enzymes and protein-ligand complexes related to drug design. I have long-term interests in developing algorithms and software in structural biology, computational biophysics and chemistry, statistical and condensed matter physics, with the focuses listed as but not limited to: computational Cryo-EM, NMR calculations, accelerated sampling methods in high-dimensional space, force fields and solvation models, as well as binding free energy calculations using homogeneous HPC clusters and heterogeneous distributed systems.
