I am currently a Postodoctoral Fellow in the Mathematical Biosciences Institute at the Ohio State University. My general research interests lie in the interdisciplinary field of Systems Biology; in using tools from the physical sciences--physics, engineering, mathematics, and computer science--to probe living systems and attempt to understand biological function. My current research projects:
* Deconvolution of population-level time-series data
* Identification of novel genetic switch topologies
* Dynamical modeling of small developmental network motifs
* Estimation of gene regulatory network parameters
* Establishing a genome-wide hierarchical coexpression networks in Arabidopsis
I believe that a detailed understanding of the fundamental 'mechanisms of life' will ultimately require analyses running the gamut of biological scales, and I can only hope that at least some part of my research will play a small role in elucidating those mechanisms.
