| The Math/CS/Bio Postdoc in RNA Research position has now been filled. | ||||
| Research | My interdisciplinary research lies at the emerging interface between discrete mathematics and molecular biology; I focus on combinatorics "as motivated by" and "with applications to" fundamental biomedical questions about the structure and function of nucleotide sequences. Through my mathematical results, I investigate the underlying principles which govern the coding of biological information in DNA words and RNA secondary structures. | |||
| Funding | I am funded by my Career Award at the Scientific Interface from the Burroughs Wellcome Fund, and an NIH R01 through the Joint DMS/NIGMS Initiative to Support Research in the Area of Mathematical Biology. | |||
| Teaching | I am currently teaching Math 4107: Abstract Algebra I. Last year, I taught a special topics course, Math 8803/4803: Discrete Mathematical Biology in the spring and was a visitor at the IMA for the program on Mathematics of Molecular and Cellular Biology in the fall. | |||
