Alumni of The Plotkin Research Group
Post-Doctoral Researchers
	Erik Abrahamsson	Dr. Abrahamsson received his Ph.D. in Chemistry from Göteborg University in Sweden. He is a co-author of our BioVEC molecular visualization software.
	Reza Ejtehadi	Dr. Ejtehadi is interested in soft condensed matter physics, biological macromolecules, complex systems, and simulations and computational physics. He is currently an associate professor at Sharif University.
	Yuri Gusev	Dr. Gusev received his Ph.D. in Mathematical Physics from the University of Manitoba. He has done research in fields from gravity theory to financial mathematics. Prior to IRMACS he has held research fellowships at the University of Alberta, the University of British Columbia, and Mathematics for Information Technology and Complex Systems (MITACS) Network of Centres of Excellence. Currently, his research focuses on network models and complex systems.
