Mountain View, CA

Investigated the development of unique secondary structures of self-cleaving ribozymes in the presence of geologically-relevant metal cations. Responsible for computational simulation of folding and biochemical probing of the secondary structures of RNA molecules previously evolved in vitro. Work published in Nucleic Acids Research.

Minneapolis, MN

Responsible for the de novo assembly and annotation of an environmental bacterial genome (Thiomargarita nelsonii); project aimed at determining the ecological niche of the largest bacterial species on Earth through an analysis of their metabolic genes. Performed computational isolation of the genome of the largest known bacteria from a mixed community.
