CURRENT RESEARCH ACTIVITIES (simulations & theory)

I am currently a postdoctoral fellow in Prof. Mikko Karttunen's group in the Department of Applied Mathematics at the University of Western Ontario in London. My research focuses on biophysics, dealing in particular with the problem of translocation of polymers across membrane pores. More information about some of the research I am involved in is available at the group web site at www.softsimu.org. Before coming to London, I was a postdoctoral fellow at North Carolina State University in Raleigh, working with Prof. Chris Roland and Prof. Celeste Sagui. My work there involved studying the electronic properties of nanostructures, as well as doing research into ways to improve the description of electrostatic interactions in molecular mechanics force fields. I did my Ph.D. at McGill University in Montreal (Canada). My research centered on studying the electron transport properties of mesoscopic and nanoscale systems.
