Dr. Klauda is the PI of the lab. Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering is his home department but he is affiliated IPST, Biophysics Program and Maryland Energy Innovation Instutute

Research in the lab utlizes molecular simulation from molecular dynamics to enhanced sampling to probe structure and function of biomolecules and their assemblies to simulations of self-assemblies of small molecules and hydrates.

Research in the lab is done by a wide array of students at different levels (high school, undergraduate, graduate and postdoctoral). Many have graduated and have positions in industry, academia or government settings.
