I am investigating the role of histone tails and their modifications in the folding of chromatin and its subsequent transcription state using brownian dynamics simulations and free energy calculations.

My Notre Dame experience was truly great, both ... > read more

Despite a number of PhD offers from other US institutions including Urbana, Carnegie Mellon and Purdue I decided to pursue my PhD with ND. And there are several reasons for that. At the time I was primarily ... > read more

"My experience at the University of Notre Dame was a particularly rewarding one. The environment is one of scholastic excellence and the campus is still the most beautiful one I have seen in the States. The University ... > read more

At ND I worked with Profs. Chang and Leighton on the stability of reverse-flow reactors and light-off of automobile catalytic converters. I have extended this work at MTU to study diesel particulate trap regeneration and applications in ... > read more

"Working for Profs. Leighton and McCready, I was able to work on an interesting range of problems in fluid mechanics. I learned to construct mathematical models from first principles and devise experiments that isolate key mechanisms and ... > read more

Working with Dr. H.-C. Chang at Notre Dame gave me a chance to explore a wide range of problems including nonlinear pattern formation in fluids, molecular modeling of diffusion in nanoporous materials, and sedimentation of suspension. The ... > read more

My graduate experience at Notre Dame was unparalleled. The philosophy was very much work hard / play hard; I got to work next to some great individuals and made friends (now colleagues) that will last a lifetime. ... > read more

From 2003 to 2004, I worked as a post-doc researcher with Prof. H.-Chia Chang.  That was one of the most rewarding years in my career.  My research focused on AC electrokinetics for bio-micro-fluidic chips, which is an ... > read more

I came to ND after 2 years in industry as a mathematical modeller having previously completed a PhD at Imperial College. During this time, I had discovered that I missed the challenges and dynamics of working in ... > read more
