Interests: I am interested in the development of magnetic resonance methods and instrumentation for the study of complex systems such as porous materials, biological membranes, and living organisms such as deep-sea extremophilic bacteria. I am particularly drawn to the use of in situ methodologies, as well as fast-MAS and pulsed-field gradient NMR techniques.

Interests: I am interested in the application of solid-state NMR techniques towards studying and understanding the complexities of proteins and their binding patners. My research revolves around studying the structure and dynamics of membrane proteins and their interactions with lipid membranes. I am also interested in the optimization of protein expression and purification.
