About Me

Physicist/biochemist/lab monkey/entrepreneur/frustrated pianist and composer.
Recently finished grad school and now doing research full time. I love what I do and would be happy to talk about it more to those who are interested... I have also played piano since age 4 and music continues to be a big part of my life. I love spending time outdoors, dancing, cultural events, good conversation, and long walks on the beach (seriously!)
Check out my Flickr photo site. I should be uploading new stuff periodically.
