=== General Information ===
=== General Information ===
My research in our laboratory centers around the development of experimental and computational tools to better study engineered microorganisms and its application to our work with ''Escherichia coli''. The overall goal of my projects is to develop means for getting more information from our research (for example, quantitative proteomic profiles) and using those tools for a more rational basis for biological engineering. In such, my work revolves around rather technology-driven projects. Having a working knowledge of the molecular biology and microbiology that underlies our laboratory, I am working to increase the throughput of and information gained in our analytics. Much of my work centers around proteomics, mass spectrometry (MS), high-pressure liquid chromatography (HPLC) coupled to various detectors (ELS, UV, and RI), bioprocess engineering, and computational metabolic modeling. One of my projects is in collaboration with two former bosses of mine, Dr. Mary Lopez and Dr. Wayne Patton at PerkinElmer Life & Analytical Sciences, who specialize in analytical proteomics. Another one of my projects is in collaboration with Prof. Kyongbum Lee, in our department at Tufts, who specializes in metabolic engineering and bioinformatics. Luckily for me, I am also responsible for website maintenance and our lab’s (frequent) computer problems.

Academic & Research Interests

My academic and research interests lie in integrating molecular biology and biochemistry with engineering techniques for a broad-range of clinical applications. Specifically, I am interested in metabolic engineering, computational systems biology and bioinformatics, analytical proteomics and metabolomics, bioprocess and biochemical engineering, and tissue engineering.

Aside from true research interests, there are a few other fields which I try to keep up with in popular science: theoretical physics, computational biophysics, evolutionary biology and biomacromolecular evolution, philosophy of molecular biology, biomedical ethics, and more recently alternative fuel technology.

Personal

I am an undergraduate pursuing a bachelor's of science in chemical engineering with a second major of biomedical engineering. I am also minoring in philosophy. If not evident from my native accent, I grew up in a suburb of Boston: Bedford, MA and attended Bedford High School. I enjoy hanging out with my friends, watching movies (The Godfather and Scarface, in particular), watching the Patriots and Red Sox, listening to music, and (given time) playing sports (tennis, golf, ping-pong, running, baseball, and basketball).
