Description: We will investigate hydrationmediatedmechanisms that govern the formation, stability, and dynamics ofbiomolecular condensates. Using a multiscale approach, we combine statisticalphysics, molecular simulations, and machine learning to uncover how waterstructure and interfacial hydration regulate phase separation, molecularinteractions, and transport within condensates. Responsibilities: The researcherwill contribute to objectives related to protein aggregation and condensation, aswell as protein liquid-liquid phase separation. These topics are among the mainfocuses of the team and are crucial for the national project coordinated by thePI, as well as being the subject of intense research in the field of nano-biophysics.Functions and tasks: Perform Monte Carlo free-energy calculations andMolecular Dynamics simulations independently; Develop machine learningapproaches to the problem; Refine statistical physics theories based onnumerical results; Compare with experiments; Supervise students involved inthe project; Write technical documents and scientific manuscripts; Present thestate of theart at group meetings and conferences; Report to the PI. PrincipalInvestigator (PI): Professor Giancarlo Franzese. Research Group:
