Biography
José Barbosa da Silva is a PhD candidate in Biological Chemistry at URCA. He works with solid-state and computational chemistry, including DFT simulations of electronic, optical, and structural properties, as well as experimental and theoretical IR/Raman vibrational studies. His research extends to biologically active molecules, antipsychotic drugs, amino acids, and natural compounds, integrating molecular docking, molecular dynamics, and quantum biochemistry to investigate ligand–protein and membrane interactions.
