SCIENTIFIC INTERESTS AND GOALS

I am eager to understand the principles of physical chemistry and mathematics from the viewpoint of their applications to biochemical systems. I am also interested in the prediction of protein structures, understanding the structure-function relationships of biomolecules and the computational analysis of biological systems.
