Senior Computational Scientist

The development of computational approaches for the analysis of the relationship between protein structure and function. My work has involved the development of algorithms and software in different areas of the general problem, primarily the construction and evaluation of homology models, biophysical analysis of visualization of protein structures, and tools for structure comparison and the inference of function from structural similarity. These tools have been integrated into web-servers for model building, function annotation, and protein interface/interaction prediction.
