Shun Sakuraba

Molecular Science Division Researcher
Institute for Chemical Research, Kyoto University
Majored in computational biology at the Graduate School of Frontier Science, the University of Tokyo and received his Ph.D. Engaged in the development of ermod, the solvation free energy calculation software based on solution theory, at the Institute for Chemical Research at Kyoto University.

Motivation for applying for the position
I wanted to continue to refine ermod, so I applied to be a Division Researcher at CMSI.

Mission / Role
To improve the parallel efficiency of ermod to expand the range of application to multi-component heterogeneous solution systems, and to promote the software through activities such as user workshops.

Ambition
I would like to expand “what can be solved using small calculations,” both theoretically and computationally (although I realize that this is paradoxical as a for CMSI researcher).
