I finished my Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering at Ohio University in the spring of 2008 under the direction of Dr. Savas Kaya and the late Dr. Bob Rakowski. My dissertation research used molecular dynamic simulations investigated ion binding sites and ion transport properties of the Na+,K+-ATPase.

I recently created this image of DNA using VMD for the Fall 2007 issue of Chicago Life magazine.

My Master's thesis was a simulation study of the effects of SiO2 interface roughness in double-gate MOSFETs.
