About
Dr. Houndonougbo earned his PhD in computational chemistry from the University of Kansas, KS. He received training in biomolecular modeling as American Heart Association Postdoctoral Fellow and in Phase Equilibria Molecular Simulations as Postdoctoral Associate in the Center for Environmentally Beneficial Catalysis at the University of Kansas. Dr. Houndonougbo teaches General Chemistry and Physical Chemistry. His research focuses on the application of computer modeling and simulations to drug design and the study of protein-ligand interactions as well as the adsorption and transport properties in materials such as Metal–organic framework (MOF). Current research projects examine the docking of drug like molecules to human inosine triphosphate pyrophosphohydrolase (ITPA), the interactions between small-molecule ligands and ITPA, and the mechanism of carbon dioxide adsorption in MOF. Dr. Houndonougbo’s research efforts have been supported through funds of the American Heart Association, the Department of Energy (DOE), and the National Institutes of Health (NIH).
