Project Scientist


Research Emphasis

My research involves developing computational approaches to studying biochemical networks. Applications of interest include:

• Elucidating the dynamic structure of metabolic networks
• The functional interpretation of the metabolome
• Impact of thermodynamics in biochemical network evolution
• Computational metabolic engineering
• Improved incorporation of fluxomic data into constraint-based models
• Understanding objective functions and constraints relevant to modeling mammalian and multi-cellular metabolism
