Welcome

I am interested in problems that lie at the interface between structural biology and pure mathematics, with a principal concentration in DNA and protein topology.  My most recent study has focused on modelling DNA knotting and looping using a combination of knot theory and differential geometry.  We hope to apply these models to aspects of image processing and gene regulation.  Currently, my research is supported by fellowships at the Fox Chase Cancer Center and Rutgers University (NSF REU).  In the autumn of 2012, I will continue my education as part of the Life Sciences Interface Doctoral Training Centre at the University of Oxford.
