Hi all, I'm a Ph.D. student in Complexity Science Group, in the Department of Physics and Astronomy, at the University of Calgary. Previously, I did a M.A. in Physics at Boston University, and a B.Sc.(Hns) in Physics at the University of Manitoba. More general information can be found at my homepage.

Currently, I am focusing on a project that could make explicit the connection between information theory and (biological) sequence alignment. Previously, I did a bit of work relating statistically significant features of Protein-Protein Interaction Networks to the evolutionary history of an organism. In general my background is in statistical physics, and complex network analysis. Most of my work is computational.

Away from work I like drinking beer and playing/watching hockey.

I look forward to getting down to Santa Fe and meeting everyone.
