Research Interests
I am interested in the developing novel assays for the detection of membrane processes, membrane-protein interactions,
and protein-protein interactions. I am currently using nanopores to interoggate these interactions. I have a new
found interest in the biophysical characterization of these processes.
Personal Info

- Favorite music: Movie soundtracks, Motioncity soundtrack, Cartel, Journey, Kenny Chesney
- Traveling and learning about wine.
- Favorite movie: almost every movie I see
- Teaching, learning new things, and photography
- Currently the webmaster for the Biomembrane lab
