Bio:
Dr. Sven Jakobtorweihen joined the Voth group in April, 2008. Sven earned his Ph.D. at the Institute of Chemical Reaction Engineering studying the molecular simulation of technically relevant molecules in nanoporous materials, while under the direction of his thesis advisor, Professor Frerich J. Keil. Sven's primary focus of research in the Voth group is the coarse-graining of biomolecular systems, especially membrane proteins.
