I received my PhD in Computational Science & Engineering at the Georgia Institute of Technology in 2013. Under the supervision of Dr. Stephen C. Harvey, I worked on a variety of projects in the fields of computational structural biology and molecular biophysics, later focusing on the development of computational tools for processing and analyzing data from chemical probing experiments on RNA.
Before the PhD, I spent three years as a process engineer at a manufacturer of technical ceramics. And before that I was involved in the analysis, modeling, and assessment of electro-optical/infrared missile systems and countermeasures at the Georgia Tech Research Institute, first as a student assistant during my days as an undergraduate at Georgia Tech, and later as a researcher after completing my BS degree in Electrical Engineering.
