Research Interests
My research and academic interests are in: metabolic engineering, natural products, computational systems biology and bioinformatics, analytical proteomics and metabolomics, bioprocess and biochemical engineering, and protein purification. Although they are not topics of my research, I am interested in the philosophy of molecular biology and evolution, as well as alternative fuel technology.

Personal
I graduated with a B.S. in chemical engineering and a minor in philosophy from Tufts University in May of 2007. I started a M.S. program in chemical engineering in our department in the fall of 2007. Although I've been told my accent is almost gone (...scary), I grew up in a suburb of Boston: Bedford, MA and attended Bedford High School. I enjoy hanging out with my friends, watching movies (gangster movies like The Godfather and Scarface), watching Boston sports (Pats, Sox, C's and sometime B's), listening to music (Lil' Wayne...the best rapper alive), and playing sports (tennis, golf, ping-pong, whiffleball (if that's a sport), baseball, and basketball).
