I’m a postdoctoral researcher at UC San Diego focused on developing computational models at the interface of cell signaling and cell mechanics.
I also play several instruments and write songs in my free time.
Welcome to my website.
My Mission
The broad goal of my scientific research is to explore the interplay between intracellular signaling and mechanics by developing computational models informed by experimental data. In my current position as a postdoctoral researcher in the Rangamani Lab at UCSD, I led development for a software framework to run finite element simulations of signaling pathways within realistic cellular geometries, known as Spatial Modeling Algorithms for Reactions and Transport (SMART). I am currently using this framework to study mechanotransduction signaling in response to nanoscale topographical cues. More details can be found on my research page.
In addition to my specific scientific work, I am devoted to asking big questions through music and writing. For instance, how far can mathematical models take us in exploring the nature of life? Check out my blog if you want to see some musings on these sort of issues.
