His research as a graduate student focused primarily on the theoretical modeling of biophysical systems, including confinement effects for homopolymers, the behavior of self-avoiding chains under tension, and analytically tractable models for two-state systems. This modeling is essential for understanding the underlying physics of many biologically relevant processes, as well as the design of novel experimental systems. Working at Harvard greatly expanded his research interests as well as the approaches in problem solving, with a primary focus evolving into the study of complex networks with applications for biological and sociological systems, and information-theoretic problems applied to chemical systems. His research on complex networks expanded further at IMT Lucca to work on the dynamics of global innovation networks using patent data, corporate ownership networks, and national input-output systems. His broad experiences in solving diverse problems will be combined at UH to describe biologically relevant systems on multiple scales and in many different contexts, with particular interests in confined biomolecular systems with applications for sequencing technologies, analytical models for the structure and dynamics of molecules with numerous specific interactions, and identifying meaningful structural elements of and differences between designed and emergent complex systems.  Publications/Creative Works Click here to search for this faculty member's publications on PubMed.  Affiliations  Research Consortia GCC Cluster NanoX  Appointments Title Department / School Institution Assistant Professor Physics University of Houston
