Ronald M. Levy is Professor of Chemistry at Rutgers University. His research is primarily in the areas of protein simulation and modeling and molecular solvation. He has been awarded a Sloan Foundation Fellowship, a Johnson and Johnson Discovery Research Award, an NIH Research Career Development Award, and a Guggenheim Fellowship. Over the past decade he has developed the IMPACT molecular modeling code. Current interests include calculation of pKa's in proteins, development of polarizable potentials, new molecular simulation methods, and determination of solvation free energies.
