Interests

My interests include acting, bird photography, computational statistical mechanics, paleontology, probability, strategy games, and teaching. My work in computational statistical mechanics utilizes advanced algorithms for sampling the conformations of small, flexible molecules in Monte Carlo molecular simulations to predict equilibrium properties of fluids. One result of my efforts is the freely available MCCCS Towhee Monte Carlo molecular simulation package (http://towhee.sourceforge.net).
