Martin Calvelo has been a postdoctoral researcher in the group of Carme Rovira at the University of Barcelona since June 2021. He completed his bachelor’s degree in Chemistry in 2014, followed by a Master’s degree in Theoretical Chemistry and Computational Modeling (2014-2016) at the University of Santiago de Compostela. Subsequently, he obtained his PhD from the same university under the supervision of Prof. Juan Granja and Dr. Rebeca García-Fandiño, where he investigated novel antimicrobial peptides using MD and QM calculations. Currently, his research is focused on molecular modeling of enzymatic reactions involving carbohydrates using QM/MM molecular dynamics and enhanced sampling methods and is working in the project “Activity-Based Profiling of Glycoprocessing Enzymes for Human Health and a Sustainable Society”.
