I’m primarily interested in the development and validation of computational models in all kinds of systems, and in the development of data analysis tools that make good use of software engineering principles to ensure reliability, repeatability, and provenance tracking.
My biophysics work uses coarse-grained protein models to simulate folding and assembly of amyloid-β and α-synuclein, two naturally disordered proteins implicated in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s diseases, respectively.
I’m currently working on a couple of projects to develop open source “textbook” materials for math and science that allow students to do and to create in math and science by creating simulations and visualizations in the book.
