Research
My current interests focus on bioinformatics, via the Digital Biology Project, and
the automatic generation of software to support scientific simulation, via
the FEniCS project.
The Digital Biology Project seeks to understand how protein systems function
in a discrete fashion, especially in the presence of hydrophobic effects (which
are very non-specific).
FEniCS is a polymorhpic acronym for an international effort (www.fenics.org)
that attempts to utilize mathematical structure inherent in scientific models
to automate the generation of simulation software.
