My research interests reside within the space of What is the origin and fate of the Universe? and How does Life fit in between? I have investigated the acceleration of the Universe, alternative models of dynamical dark energy, gravitational waves from binary black hole mergers using supercomputers, ancient metabolic pathways, and super-computing the origins of life. All of my research is geared towards bringing humans together to ask deep questions through interdisciplinary approaches, with the goal of bringing about social justice through science.
Presently, at the Biodesign Center for Mechanisms of Evolution, I am interested in the intersection between machine learning and protein engineering, with a specific focus on Green Fluorescent Proteins. Through the lens of mutation, and by improving our data sets and learning models, the hope is to design brighter and more efficient fluorescent proteins to help better visualize cellular activity.
