Dmitry Matyushov is a professor of physics and chemistry at Arizona State University. His research interests are in theoretical and computational condensed matter physics, physical chemistry, and biophysics. After receiving his undergraduate degree in 1986 from the Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology (Phystech), he studied at Kiev State University (Ukraine) and the Ukrainian Academy of Science, receiving his doctorate in theoretical physics in 1989 with the thesis on path integrals for stochastic processes. He worked as a staff scientist at the Ukrainian Academy of Sciences and in 1993 was awarded a postdoctoral (Lise Meitner) fellowship from the Austrian Science Foundation. After spending three years in Vienna, also in the position of an invited professor, he moved to Fort Collins (CO) to join the group of Professor Branka Ladanyi as a postdoctoral fellow. After another postdoc with Professor Greg Voth at the University of Utah, he joined the faculty of Arizona State University in 2000. His research at ASU has included spectroscopy, solvation, phase and glass transitions, complex fluids, electron transfer, dielectric spectroscopy, and bioenergetics (mechanisms of photosynthesis and respiration). Current interests include protein dynamics, electrostatics of the protein-water interface, and problems related to ergodicity breaking and non equilibrium ensembles in biology and enzyme catalysis.

Energy in biology. We are interested in understanding of how electrons are transferred in biology and molecular assemblies. Biology’s energy chains rely on trans-membrane transfer of redox or photon energy from electron donating molecules and photoexcited states to catalytic sites where the energy is stored in chemical bonds. We are working on understanding the kinetics and energetics of elementary electron transfer events with the goal of formulating general principles of energetic efficiency of charge-transfer chains. Non-equilibrium ensembles and ergodicity breaking turn out to be essential parts of biology’s efficiency. Our research strategy combines the use of computer simulations of realistic systems with the development of theoretical models directly applicable to interpreting the experiment.
Protein-water interface. The ability of proteins to perform biological function is linked to electrostatics of proteins themselves and of their hydration shells. Textbooks assign low dielectric constant to proteins, comparable to that of chloroform. Large-scale computer simulations show that this is only partially true. Proteins have a broad distribution of relaxation times and, depending on the process of interest, can be either non-polar or very polar. We formulate models of water at the surface of the protein and connect them to experimental observations such as absorption of electromagnetic radiation by protein solutions.
Theory of polar liquids and dielectrics. We study different aspects of polar liquids in the bulk and in interfaces. Our interests include the statistical mechanics of the liquid phase and dielectric response of polarized interfaces. We develop models of the polar response based on liquid-state theories and test them by numerical atomistic simulations.
Electro-elastic dynamics of proteins. We develop models of large-scale protein dynamics influenced by protein’s elasticity and charge distribution.
