Chemistry and Biochemistry

Yao Houndonougbo, Assistant Professor, PhD, University of Kansas, Lawrence

Dr. Houndonougbo's research interests involve the use of statistical mechanics, numerical analysis, molecular dynamics amd Monte Carlo simulations, quantum mechanics, protein-protein docking, bioinformatics methods, gas adsorption and storage and protein-protein interactions. Current research projects include:

• The charactization of Zeolitic Imidazolate Frameworks (ZIFs) for gas uptake and storage
• Thermodynamic and transport of carbon dioxide, hydrocarbon and carbon dioxide and hydrocarbon mixtures with zeolit materials
• Structures, dynamics and interactions of the proteins involved in the regulation of calcium in heart muscles
