My research interests lie in using computer simulation to understand how biology uses physical chemistry to achieve function. This interest started during my Ph. D at Northwestern where I studied how light interacts with small DNA fragments. I went on to do a postdoc at the University of Chicago where I studied energy transfer processes in large proteins. I am currently interested in how biology achieves self-assembly and energy transduction. Understanding these phenomena will allow us to harness that ability to design novel materials and nanotechnology.
