Oh hello there,

Welcome to my homepage. I am a PhD candidate in bioinformatics at the University of Michigan. I study metabolic syndrome and obesity in the laboratory of Dr. Charles Burant. My dissertation research includes the development of a whole-cell model of the metabolism of E. coli. Please see my CV for more information about my research and education.

Next to science, my passion is music. I sing, play upright bass and old-time fiddle music. I love American roots music, and particularly the music from the American Civil War.

Feel free to contact me if you have any questions regarding my research or my music or current events or you just want to say hi.
