I have been researching the biophysics of molecular compounds capable of inhibiting the growth of harmful microbial biofilms, enhancing beneficial microbial performance, and bio-material replacement of malfunctioning human tissue. Additionally, I have been studying cosmology, quantum mechanics, and metaphysics as it relates to relative human experience and connection.
