I am finishing up my first year of graduate study in Princeton's Quantitative & Computational Biology program. I am interested in self-organization and the evolution of communication. Most recently, my research has taken a more practical turn, as I have been developing a system for studying the properties of microbial biofilms: unique, diverse assemblages of bacteria and other microbes. These little phalanxes tend to be much heartier than their planktonic cousins, and they often exhibit cooperative behavior.
