Biochemistry, U. of New Hampshire, magna cum laude. Inducted into Phi Beta Kappa. EXPERIENCE 2000-present Research Assistant Professor, Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, UNH. Work is directed at the long-term goal of making electrophoresis a practical tool for the detailed electrostatic and electrohydrodynamic characterization of macro-ion solutions without comparison to standards. 1995-2000 Postdoctoral research associate, UNH. Taught physical biochemistry at the senior undergraduate/graduate student level. Investigated transport phenomena, with a focus on membrane-confined analytical electrophoresis (MCAE). Designed MCAE methods and experiments. Wrote and used computer programs to simulate transport in the MCAE instrument, and in the analytical ultracentrifuge, under a wide variety of conditions. 1990-1994 Graduate student, UNH. Investigated Limulus coagulogen, coagulin and coagulin gel formation. Techniques used included turbidimetry, velocity sedimentation, equilibrium sedimentation, fluorescence spectroscopy, circular dichroic spectroscopy, SDS-PAGE, column chomatography, FPLC, electron microscopy and MCAE. 1978-1990 Toolmaker, Reltok Diamond Tool Company, Danville NH. Set and cut industrial diamonds. Machined metal parts for tools. Manufactured, repaired and calibrated hardness testers. |
