Molecular Dynamics

Ruben Santamaria is originally from California, United States. He studied physics at UNAM and earned his doctorate degree in Molecular Physics from the University of Oxford. He did postdoctoral studies in Molecular Biophysics at Northwestern University in Chicago. He has vast experience as a researcher and works at the Physics Institute of the University of Mexico (UNAM). He has given talks at various national and international institutions and taught courses in his specialty. His research focuses mainly on developing methodologies in atomic and molecular physics, and proposing new processes with applications to nanostructured systems and molecular biophysics, using the latest technological tools in computing and artificial intelligence.
