I am mostly off-campus at my MGH lab bench in the Ruvkun Lab
Research Interests
I am an engineer and scientist focused on instrument development, and application of bioengineering models to interesting scientific problems. I work with a team developing a life detection experiment for Mars, and also carry out research in bioastronautics, human energetics, and aging. Major current interests and efforts include:
- Instrument developement, microfluidics, thermal cycling, space qualification
- DNA detection, bioinformatics, polymerase chain reaction, sequencing
- Space suit design, astronaut performance, human adaptation to space
- Human gait, energetics of movement and locomotion, and aging
I have job openings related to several research projects.
