Professor Adrian Mulholland

Adrian Mulholland is a Professor of Chemistry at the University of Bristol where he was Director of Research for Chemistry 2019-22. His research focuses on investigating enzyme catalysis, biomolecular dynamics and function, using computational molecular simulation. He develops and applies simulation methods to antimicrobial resistance, biocatalysis, enzyme design and evolution, using high performance computing. He has published over 250 papers. He has been awarded fellowships by EPSRC and the Wellcome Trust, and holds an ERC Advanced Grant (2021-26). His research is supported by current grants from BBSRC, EPSRC, ERC, MRC and industry. He was awarded the 2020 John Meurig Thomas Medal. He is a Member of the EPSRC Science, Technology and Engineering Board. He has served as Chair of the Molecular Graphics and Modelling Society; CCP-BioSim (the UK Collaborative Computational Project on Biomolecular Simulation); the 2016 Computational Chemistry Gordon Research Conference; HECBioSim (UK High End Computing Consortium for Biomolecular Simulation); the UK CCP Steering Panel; Steering Group, UK Catalysis Hub; and the BBSRC/MRC Large Scale Computing Task Force (2020-23).
