Research Interests
1. Computational Biology
A joint project between the Biology and Biotechnology Research Program, the Computations Directorate, and the Physics Directorate. The goal of the Strategic Initiative in Compuational Biology is to combine LLNL's expertise in biology, simulation methods, and high performance computing to develop a new laboratory core competency in computational biology. One component of this project involves the use of first principles molecular dynamics to examine systems that are relevent to the interaction of DNA with its environement.
