Professor Acevedo joined the WSU faculty in Fall 2018. While his background is steeped in traditional biophysical characterization of protein structure-function-dynamics relationships, his research interests are vast. Student research has spanned from protein engineering, environmental science, baking (sourdough bread), to learning chemistry via virtual reality technology. If it's interesting and loosely tied to biological chemistry, Professor Acevedo is willing to mentor the project.

Professor Acevedo is a steering committee member of BioMolViz, a Sloan Scholars Mentor, a lifetime member of SACNAS, and a member of the ASBMB. He and his students have gone to local, regional, and national conferences to present their work.

When not at WSU, Professor Acevedo enjoys watching sports (soccer and basketball), playing video games with friends and chasing his children around the house.
