We have combined two well-established enhanced sampling methods, GaMD and WE, into a hybrid method GaMD-WE to create a more powerful enhanced sampling method for MD simulations. GaMD is used to sample the free energy landscape initially, and WE is used to further sample the free energy landscape and ascertain rate constants between two states of interest in the system of interest. We have shown how the hybrid method performs better than conventional WE in sampling thermodynamic and kinetic properties for three systems, and its performance significantly improves as the system size grows. For future directions, we plan to fully integrate the hybrid method with a WE simulation toolkit such as WESTPA and possibly combine it with other WE enhancing algorithms to create stateof-the-art enhanced sampling methods. The GaMD-WE package is available at https:// github.com/anandojha/gamd_we and the documentation is available at . readthedocs.io/en/latest/.
