Dear Jesus, please spare my kidneys.

Me: I used to like coke better, but now I'm a firm pepsi believer
Kelly: and to what do you attribute this change in preference?
Me: I dunno man, probably being born again
Kelly: sure
Kelly the bible was wrong when it said men could be born twice
Kelly: turns out birth of the water and birth of the spirit are just practices for birth of the cola wars

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.
