I graduated with a B.S. in physics from the University of North Carolina in Charlotte in 2012. My undergraduate research experience focused primarily on the structural dynamics of proteins. I used molecular dynamic simulations to investigate the mechanics of the recovery stroke in the myosin II motor under the guidance of Andre Baumketner, and I also used a minimal Distance Constraint Model to guide flexibility and stability experiments of CC vs CXC chemokines in Irina Nesmelova’s lab. Currently, I am interested in developing novel quantitative methods that can be used to aid our understanding of complex cell signalling networks and to guide future experiments. In my spare time I enjoy playing disc golf. Funded by T32HD007502 and F31GM120940.
