We wrote a paper describing some electrostatic computations using finite elmenent codes Dr. Xie developed earlier, which was published in the Journal of Computational Chemistry. –> I worked with Dr. Xie to develop “nonlocal” extensions of the traditional PB theory. We published a paper in the Journal of Computational and Applied Mathematics describing a nonlocal PB model for biomolecules in ionic solutions that include ion size effects. In my dissertation, I developed a nonlocal PB model for ion channels, such as VDAC. https://liamjemison.com/projects/poisson-boltzmann/
