Nandan Haloi, PhD

Nandan Haloi is a researcher in computational biophysics at Stockholm University, working with Prof. Erik Lindahl. His research develops multiscale methods at the intersection of molecular dynamics simulations, cryo-electron microscopy, and machine learning to understand membrane protein function–dynamics and to accelerate drug discovery.

He earned his PhD in Biophysics and Quantitative Biology from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign under the supervision of Prof. Emad Tajkhorshid, and has since held postdoctoral positions at KTH Royal Institute of Technology (as a Marie Skłodowska-Curie Fellow) and, in collaboration with Janssen Pharmaceutical, at Stockholm.

His work has appeared in Science Advances, Neuron, Nature Communications, PNAS, and PLOS Computational Biology, and has been supported by EuroHPC, Marie Curie, EMBO, and Blue Waters. He is an active mentor of graduate students and a committee member of SciLifeLab's DEI committee.
