Biography

My research as a Scientist at NYSBC specializing in solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy is focused on studying the structure and motions of complex biological and inorganic systems to assist in the study of structure-function relationships within these systems. Throughout my more than 10 years of scholastic training and research I have focused on the development and implementation of complex solid-state NMR experiments to study the dynamics and structure of inorganic amorphous materials and membrane proteins.
