About

My current research is in stochastic processes in molecular biophysics. Specifically, I am studying programmed ribosomal frameshifting in viral protein synthesis. My model aims to predict translation rates and frameshift efficiencies of sequences of RNA based on the physics of molecular interactions. My advisors are Joe Watkins (Mathematics) and Koen Visscher (Biophysics). Previous projects have included the orbital evolution of a class of planetesimals in the solar system, agent-based modeling of swarm behavior, and star formation in dwarf galaxies.
