Taisung Lee is currently an Associate Research Professor at Rutgers University with research interests in free energy mythology development and GPU-accelerated molecular simulations. He obtained his B.S. and M.S. degrees in Chemistry from National Taiwan University and Ph.D. in Theoretical Quantum Chemistry from Duke University. After NIH Postdoctoral training at UCSF, he worked at Accelrys as a scientific software engineer and then a project lead for almost 6 years. He retuned to academia and worked at University of Minnesota and then moved to Rutgers.

David Cerutti is a Research Professor at Rutgers University with interests in force field design and hardware acceleration. With degrees in Bioengineering from Rice University and Chemistry (University of California, San Diego), David has worked in several academic laboratories in solvent model development and at Schrodinger, LLC improving biomolecular force fields. Aside from his most recent work in renovating the underlying molecular dynamics features of the Amber engine, David has contributed the mdgx package containing standard CPU algorithms for molecular dynamics and parameter optimization modules. The combination of these two capabilities makes mdgx a powerful addition to the Amber software package, offering users explicit control of the atomic details of their simulations.
