I am a Postdoctoral Researcher and Lab Manager at Kansas State University, working at the interface of computational structural biology, bioinformatics, peptide science, and AI/ML. My research focuses on creating scalable, data-driven models to understand the structure, dynamics, and function of proteins and bioactive peptides. I integrate large-scale molecular simulations with advanced protein-language models and machine-learning approaches to uncover mechanistic insights into biomolecular interactions and behavior.
