About the Talk

D. E. Shaw Research (DESRES) is a New York-based independent research laboratory that conducts scientific research in the field of computational biochemistry. Our group is currently focusing primarily on long molecular dynamics (MD) simulations involving proteins and other biological macromolecules of potential interest from both a scientific and a pharmaceutical perspective. An integral part of our effort consists of designing and developing custom hardware and software to carry out this research. We are also pursuing drug discovery programs, leveraging the insights enabled by our novel technologies, with an initial focus on drug targets that have proved resistant to traditional drug discovery methods. Our team includes computational chemists and biologists, computer scientists and applied mathematicians, and computer architects and engineers, all working collaboratively within a tightly coupled interdisciplinary research environment under the leadership of our chief scientist David Shaw.

Join us for an overview of our work and a discussion of current openings in the lab.

About the Speakers

Bryan Jackson
Bryan Jackson is a Senior Program Manager at DESRES. He holds a B.A. in chemistry from Occidental College and a Ph.D. in chemistry/biophysics from U.C. Berkeley. Prior to joining our team, Bryan was a project manager at IBM Research - Almaden in San Jose, California, where he managed the chip and system design efforts for the TrueNorth project under the DARPA-funded SyNAPSE program for the Brain Inspired Computing team.

Daniel Richman
Daniel D. Richman is involved with simulation studies of biological systems. He holds an S.B. in electrical engineering and computer science from MIT. Prior to joining DESRES, Daniel was a Texas Instruments Undergraduate Research and Innovation Scholar in the Chandrakasan Group at MIT, where he developed a new, ultra-fast frequency-hopping protocol for wireless communications and contributed to the design of a wireless transmitter chip. Daniel's work at MIT also included research in protein-protein interactions in the Bcl-2 family, sensor-based health systems, and sedimentary geology.
