I am interested in applying various computational and systems engineering concepts to understand complex biological systems. My research areas include analyzing high throughput biological data sets, identifying and modeling gene interactions, and characterizing metabolic networks.

During last two years, I also got involved in biological experiments including genetic modifications, biological assays, and cell growth. These experiments focus on developing cyanobacteria mutants for generation of bio-fuels.
