Project TitleMolecular Mechanisms of HIV-1 Infection
SummaryDevelop large-scale analysis tools for molecular dynamics simulations. Perform molecular dynamics simulations of HIV-1 relevant systems. Collaborate with biophysical scientist in the design of experiments for the validation of the discoveries.
Job DescriptionThe student will be working on developing tools for the study of large-scale biomedical systems. In particular, the student will be using deep learning and statistical analysis. The computational architectures includes multi-core, multi-GPU and multi-node workloads. The resulting work will be primarily based on the two widely used programs NAMD and VMD. The student will have the opportunity to present her/his work at local and national meetings.
Computational ResourcesSimulations will be performed using our allocation on Bridges and Stampede2. Novel analysis tools are currently being developed that take advantage of the capabilities offered by PSC's DGX-2 and AI-cluster. The analysis of large data sets will be facilitated by the high I/O provided by the Lustre system availabe in both PSC and TACC.

Position TypeIntern
Training PlanHands-on learning is expected from the student. The studend will have the opportunity to interact with graduate students and post-docs whose solely work is performed in XSEDE platforms. The student will have the opportunity to gain experience in software engineering and code development aimed to solve biophysical chemistry problems in widely used software like NAMD and VMD.
