Stephen A. Wells works on computational modelling of molecular structure and dynamics, applying flexibility and simulation methods to diverse materials including proteins, enzymes, zeolites, and metal-organic frameworks. His research spans understanding how molecular flexibility relates to enzyme stability and cold-adaptation, structural behavior of porous crystalline materials under pressure, and more recently computational modelling in manufacturing and neuroscience data analysis. The work is largely methodological, using simulation and structural analysis techniques across a wide range of application domains.
