I am currently a postdoc in the Cross lab. I work on kinesin motor proteins, which transport molecular cargo to specific reaction sites in cells. More specifically, I am interested in how kinesins modify the dynamic microtubule tracks upon which they walk.

Research interests

• Microtubule dynamics
• Molecular motors
• Mathematical modeling
• Computer programming
• Image analysis
