Research Interests
I have a general interest in the roles of hydration and molecular plasticity in macromolecular structure and function. I am currently examining the hydration of newly discovered, highly active antifreeze proteins using computational techniques. Other projects in development include examining the differences in dynamics between psychrophilic (cold-adapted) proteins and their mesophilic counterparts and studying changes in conformational dynamics upon aminoglycoside binding to RNA.
I am also the Assistant Director of the Science Discovery Center of Oneonta, a small interactive science center on the SUNY Oneonta campus.
