Antonia Mey

Dr Antonia Mey is a Chancellor’s Fellow and Senior Lecturer (Associate Professor) in the School of Chemistry at the University of Edinburgh. She obtained a PhD in Physics from the University of Nottingham working with Prof. Juan Garrahn on lattice protein models. After her PhD she joined Prof. Frank Noé group at the Free University in Berlin as a postdoc, where she developed new tools for the analysis of molecular simulations using Markov Models. In 2015, she moved to Edinburgh to work with Prof. Julien Michel on alchemical free energy simulation methods. In 2020, she started her independent career with a Christina Miller Fellowship in Edinburgh which was soon replaced by a Chancellor’s Fellowship in 2021 which she currently holds. Her main research interests lie in the field of computational biophysics and drug design using machine learning and biomolecular simulations to understand protein function and inhibition.
