Following graduate school, I worked as a postdoctoral fellow in the research group of Michele Parrinello at ETH Z​ürich and Università della Svizzera italiana (USI) in Lugano, Switzerland. My work in the Parrinello group focused on the development of enhanced sampling methods for studying rare events from atomistic simulations, which I applied to study phase transitions in ionic solids, protein conformational changes, and chemical reaction kinetics. Prior to my current appointment at Western, I held a joint postdoctoral appointment in the research groups of professor Joan-Emma Shea in the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry and professor Glenn H. Fredrickson in the Materials Research Laboratory at the University of California Santa Barbara. My research at UCSB involved using computational methods based on polymer field theory to study the liquid-liquid phase separation of intrinsically disordered proteins.
