Baker CryoEM Laboratory San Diego Supercomputer Center |
I hold a Ph.D. in physics and in a previous life worked as a research physicist in the Laboratory for Computational Physics at the Naval Research Laboratory (NRL). My work at NRL focused mainly on molecular dynamics, Monte Carlo, and direct simulation Monte Carlo (DSMC) calculations for a number of problems in granular materials, diamond chemical vapor deposition, and statistical physics.
While a member of the Scientific Computing Department (SciComp) at SDSC, I worked on high performance computing applications in a range of areas including chemistry (classical molecular dynamics), high energy physics (QED and QCD), ship hydrodynamics, simulations of the Earth's magnetotail, astrophysics, coastal flows/sediment transport, and proteomics. Other duties included running the NPACI allocations process and serving as lead for SDSC's IBM system. In June '01, I left SciComp to join the Alliance for Cellular Signaling so that I could focus my attention on problems in computational biology. In the fall of '06, I joined Tim Baker's cryoEM laboratory.
When not here, I like to eat, sleep, hike, read, train for triathlons, and spend time with my wife Lali, daughter Melissa, and Sophie the dog.
