Research

Understanding proteins through computation.

I connect molecular models, stochastic simulation, and structural data to study how proteins explore conformations and organize into functional assemblies.

Methods that support the science

Models need reliable computational tools.

NERDSS-MPI, ioNERDSS, and AutoCLIP connect simulation, automated model construction, and scientist-facing interfaces. Validation, testing, and documentation are part of the method—not an afterthought.

Let’s talk about the next question.

I’m interested in molecular-modeling methods, biomolecular simulation, and reusable scientific software.
