Teaching Interests
I am interested in teaching:
1) Bio-physics courses for undergraduate students (BioPhysics 350).
2) Introductory physics courses for undergraduate students (Phys. 111).
3) Graduate level "Statiscal Mechanics" which is a main tool to study biology at the molecular level.

Research Interests
In our lab, we simulate non-equilibrium phenomena in Bio-Physics using atomistic and statistical mechanics models in large scale computers. Examples of phenomena that we are studying are Amyloid fibril formation related to aging diseases, interaction of Amyloid peptides with membranes, and solvation of non-polar compounds. These interdisciplinary topics lie at the interface of physics, chemistry, biology, and material science.
