Research
I am in Professor Linda Petzold's computational science research group in the computer science department at the University of California, Santa Barbara. I work in the broad field of systems biology.
- I'm involved in a diabetes research project funded by Pfizer.
- I also work on numerical methods for multiscale stochastic simulation of chemically reacting systems.
- We're planning a new release of StochKit soon.
- I'm involved with a collaboration with the CACR at Caltech. Sean Mauch has a stochastic simulation package in his template library and a GUI application available on SourceForge.
Before graduate school, I worked at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota where I worked on Parkinson's disease research. You can see my Mayo publications on PubMed.
The images on the right are from my insulin resistance pathway (diabetes) research--they show the response of a glucose transporter to insulin for different models. The image on the left is from my undergraduate research on numerical solutions of the wave equation.
