Staff members with discipline Biophysics

Academia develops at the interface of different fields. This is one reason why the University of Groningen is home to a wide range of fields, each with a great number of subject specialists. The overview below, which is based on a standard categorization of fields, will help you find the right expert for each field. If you cannot find the expert you are looking for in this list, try searching via a related field or faculty; you may find him or her there.

Overview of all disciplines

I use artificial intelligence, machine learning, and molecular modeling to study biological systems. My research focuses on understanding metalloenzymes by analyzing features from machine learning models that reproduce their biochemical properties. In... read more
