I am currently an Associate Professor in the Department of Chemistry at New York University, and Simons Center for Computational Physical Chemistry. My research interests broadly involve developing and applying techniques from statistical mechanics and computational modeling to better understand how molecular interactions give rise to large scale collective phenomena. My research interests lie at the intersection between chemistry, physics, biology, and materials science. I work closely with a number of expeirmental groups in topics concentrated in self-assembly of materials, and molecular mechanisms of mechanosensing in mammalian and bacterial cells. My work has been funded in part by the National Institutes of Health, National Science Foundation, Army Research Office, Department of Energy, Simons Foundation, and Alfred P. Sloan Foundation.
