Biography
Kyung Yup Baek has his research interests in identifying important physiochemical phenomena in vivo by modeling hydrated systems and understanding their conformationdependent properties. He obtained his Ph. D. in Chemistry from the Seoul National University in 2014 and is currently working as a postdoctoral researcher in the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST). Recently, he and his coworkers proposed an efficient computational methodology that can quickly and accurately find the most stable structures of hydrated biomolecular systems while drastically reducing the amount of DFT calculation that must be performed.
