Ryan Barnes

Research

Ryan's research focuses on the interface between proteins and the surrounding hydration water in order to better understand how hydration water modifies the protein function. By quantifying the motion of the protein as well as the motion of the water, he aims to address the energetic coupling between a protein and its solvating hydration water.
