I've recently joined the Biology Department and Courant Computer Science Dept as part of a joint initiative between Computation in Science and Society and NYU's Center for Comparative Functional Genomics. I received my PhD from the University of Washington in Seattle working with David Baker (2001). Before coming to NYU I worked on the Systems-Biology of a halophilic extremophile, with Nitin Baliga and Leroy Hood.
The lab focuses on developing and implementing methods for modeling global regulatory circuits that are general and can be applied to many systems. I've also played a critical role in the development and deployment of "Rosetta", a state of the art protein folding program, and future work will include distilling functional information from genome-wide de novo predictions.
