Used MD simulations and statistical mechanic software (NAMD2) for biophyscical calculations related to protein/RNA complexes. Simulations and models were used to characterize the causes of cancer and disease proliferation at the molecular level (i.e. Alternative Splicing interruption); Presented at 2014 Fall ACS National Meeting and Exposition Poster (Biological Session)

Sampled recreational fresh/salt water from beaches and also city/county drinking water while testing for bacteria using HPC (Heterotrophic plate count) methods.
