I am currently a PhD student in Bioinformatics at UCSD. I am a member of Philip Bourne's lab, where I work on protein structural. In particular, I am interested in algorithms for comparing protein structure, and the application of such algorithms for gaining insights about protein fold space. As a computational biologist, I enjoy both the technical challenges associated with writing good code and the beauty of biological systems. Specialties: Experience with: Java, including Swing and Java 1.5 features; Objective-C and Cocoa; PHP, Javascript, AJAX, CSS, and MySQL; Mac OS X, Linux, and Windows;
