I am a post-doctoral researcher in Professor Bruce R. Donald's group at Duke University, Computer Science Department. I currently work on NMR resonance assignments.
During my Ph.D., I was a graduate student at the Stanford Robotics Lab. My Ph.D. advisors are Prof. Jean-Claude Latombe from Computer Science, and Prof. Doug Brutlag from Biochemistry. I graduated in 2004. In my thesis I worked on the modeling and study of molecular motion in ligand-protein binding and protein folding, using techniques from robotic motion planning and Markov Chain Theory.
My research interests are in
the intersection of molecular structure and motion, motion planning, AI and
computation.
