Tejas Shah

Computational Chemist | Researcher

I am a final-year Ph.D. candidate at the University of Texas at Dallas, specializing in molecular dynamics simulations, force field development, and drug delivery systems. My research focuses on understanding biomolecular interactions and designing polymeric carriers for therapeutic applications. I combine computational modeling to explore mechanisms at the molecular level.

My research focuses on using advanced computational tools to understand complex molecular interactions, develop drug delivery systems, and design functional polymers for real-world applications.
