Dr. Samal Kaumbekova is a Researcher at the Laboratory of Computational Materials Science, Center for Energy and Advanced Materials Science, National Laboratory Astana, Nazarbayev University. She received her Ph.D. in Science, Engineering, and Technology from Nazarbayev University in 2023, where her research focused on molecular modeling and molecular dynamics simulations of protein-nanoparticle and protein-pollutant interactions. Her current work extends these simulation-based approaches to study nanoparticles, nanobubbles, and intermolecular interactions at the atomic scale.
