Research Interests
| I work on
understanding theoretical problems within biology
with an emphasis on biological computation and genetic
regulation. In neural systems, my research has focused on how the biophysics of neurons allows them to function within the electrically active environment of the brain. I'm also interested in gaining a mechanistic understanding of genetic regulation within bacteria. A relative newcomer to biology, in the past, I have worked on theoretical issues related to superfluidity within cold Bose and Fermi gases. |
