‘Science asks you to be comfortable with uncertainty, which is easier to say than to live with day to day.’
Dr Sousa Javannikkhah is leading a new research group at Maynooth University focusing on molecular multiscale modelling.
Javannikkhah’s background is in chemical engineering, with a PhD focused on computational modelling of polymeric composites using molecular dynamics simulations.
She developed multiscale computational methods for soft matter and self-assembling polymer systems during her postdoctoral positions, after which she went on to hold two consecutive Marie Skłodowska-Curie fellowships at the University of Limerick, applying computational chemical engineering to design drug delivery platforms for monoclonal antibodies and anticancer drugs.
