Education: B.S., Texas A&M University

Research Interests:
Toys! Of the scientific nature, of course. More specifically, the development of scientific instrumentation to increase our understanding about biological systems. My work focuses on a creating a flow-injection-based technology to map phosphorus limitation in the Gulf of Mexico. "The Machine" will analyze extracellular phosphatase activity as a measure of phosphorus limitation on a real-time, continuous basis.

Personal Interests:
What little time I currently have outside of Rutgers work is spent reading fantasy and sci-fi, participating in all sorts of outdoor activities (hiking, camping, caving, canoeing, and other activities that don't start with "C"), playing various types of games, and performing/composing music (of the classical sort).
