Computational Biology, Geometric Modeling, Image Processing, Computational Geometry, Computer Graphics, Compression, Mesh Generation, Scientific Computation, and Visualization

My research interests span the algorithmic and mathematics underpinnings of Structural Biology and Biophysics, Image Processing, Geometric Modeling, Computer Graphics, and Visualization. Current research initiatives include (a) structure elucidation and reconstruction of spatially realistic models of molecules(drug targets), organelles, cells, tissues, and organs, from electron microscopy, and bio-imaging, (b) fast high-dimensional search engine for identifying energetically favorable molecular binding conformations (e.g virtual screening for anti-viral drugs), and (c) integrated approaches to computational modeling, mathematical analysis and interrogative visualization, in particular, of the dynamics of electrical signaling and oscillations (3-10 Hz) amongst neurons in the hippocampus (the central area of learning and memory).

My research is currently sponsored by grants from the National Science Foundation (NSF) and the National Institutes of Health (NIH), and include
