Biography

Professor Schulten received a B.S. in Chemistry from the University of Southern California in 1969, an M.S. in Chemistry from Harvard University in 1972, and a Ph.D. in Applied Mathematics from Harvard University in 1975. From 1975 to 1980, he was a Research Fellow at the Max-Planck Institute for Biophysical Chemistry in Göttingen and from 1980 to 1985, he was a Research Fellow in the Department of Theoretical Physics at the Technical University of Munich. His research focuses on understanding the rules of life at the minimal bacterial cell level through GPU-based simulations, stochastic and deterministic processes, and computational studies of biomolecular energy landscapes. He explores the evolution of structure, function, and folding in biological molecules, and his work includes protein folding thermodynamics and kinetics, energy function design for protein structure prediction, and the study of metabolic pathways.
