Biography


Areas of Interest

I am interested in the physics of biological molecules in nano-scale environments. In particular, DNA can be efficiently manipulated by confining it to channels with a cross-section that is on the order of the DNA persistence length (50 nm). My research includes novel techniques in nanobiotechnology, using nanoconfined DNA to solve biological puzzles, and exploring polymer physics with DNA as the model system. The goal of my research is to give medics and biologists tools which can help them do their jobs cheaper, better, and faster. (I am aware that some people think attaining all three is impossible)
