- Utilized spatially resolved, Langevin dynamics simulations coupled with a stochastic reaction-diffusion scheme to explore the impact of physical regulators on organization of the actin cytoskeleton.
- Developed theoretical framework combining Kinetic Monte Carlo and Langevin dynamics simulations to study the interplay between multiple-motor based transport and the organization of the plant cytoskeleton.
- Developed simulation pipeline for high-throughput experimentation which reduced simulation time by days to hours.
- Implemented topological data analysis and hierarchical clustering to classify images of actin networks.
- Worked as member of integrated project team in highly collaborative work environment.
- Detailed study findings and updated research upon new discoveries.
- Met regularly with research team to identify issues and maintain project alignment with objectives.
