Dr. Dirar Homouz is a computational biophysicist passionate about uncovering the molecular secrets of life. After earning his PhD from the University of Houston in 2007, he now uses molecular dynamics simulations to study how proteins fold and function in crowded, cell-like environments. His research also explores how confinement at the nanoscale affects molecular behavior—key for nanotech and biomedical applications. In parallel, he applies machine learning to understand gene regulation and complex gene networks. Dirar enjoys mentoring students, coding simulations, and turning biology into data-driven insights.
