This is actually my old website; I've since moved to Trevor Douglas's lab at Montana State University. My new web space is here.
Research
I'm a post-doc at the Center for Biological Physics at Arizona State University. I recently completed my doctoral work with Dr. Mike Thorpe and Dr. Petra Fromme, where I focused on biophysics of photosynthesis, in particular the structure and dynamics of Photosystem I. My current research efforts are focused around the development of improved simulation techniques for understanding protein dynamics at long timescales and fitting high-resolution protein structures to low-resolution data.
Curriculum Vitae (Updated 04/08/08)
Recent research topics include:
- Developing multiscale methods for simulation of large conformational changes in proteins
- Developing methods for flexible fitting of high-resolution protein structures into low-resolution electron density maps
- Modeling the assembly of the PSI stromal subunits
- Time-resolved spectroscopy of PSI-LHCI supercomplexes from Chlamydomonas reinhardtii
- Spectroscopic investigations of state transitions in Chlamydomonas
- Structural modeling of plant PSI
