Conformations and Dynamics of Intrinsically Disordered Regions in Bacteria
In my postdoctoral work in the lab of Andrea Soranno, I'm assessing intrinsically disordered protein conformational dynamics of the bacterial transcriptional machinery using single-molecule fluorescence-based approaches such as FRET and FCS. Comb...

Genome Regulation in Mycobacterium Tuberculosis
My PhD in the lab of Eric Galburt focused on DNA-dependent processes (transcription and repair) in the pathogenic bacteria Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Using a combination of transient and steady-state kinetics, kinetic modeling, fluorescence aniso...

Methods for Modeling and Measuring Steady-State Transcription Rates
During my PhD in the lab of Eric Galburt, I became interested in how one could use kinetics to make predictions regarding transcriptional activity. To phrase it differently, how does DNA sequence (which encodes for the basal transcription kinetics...

Thermodynamics and Kinetics of Calcium Binding Proteins
My Masters research at Southern Illinois University Edwardsville in the lab of Chin-Chuan Wei focused on the molecular aspects of calcium signaling. There, I explored how various EF-hand containing proteins bind calcium and undergo subsequent conf...
