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).
