Professional Interests
My research lies at the intersection of computational and experimental biochemistry. In particular, I am interested in developing -- and exploring the mathematics underlying -- processing techniques (e.g. covariance NMR) that facilitate the use of NMR to explore the chemistry of complex mixtures. I am also interested in the evolution of protein flexibility and of "moonlighting" proteins as well as in the use of computational and spectroscopic techniques to identify protein ligands, in particular allosteric inhibitors of protein/small molecule and protein/protein interactions.

I do most of my programming nowadays in MATLAB. My MATLAB central file exchange page is https://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/profile/authors/1420896 .
