My work
I am experienced in non-parametric statistical tests and correlation analysis including non-linear analysis and Kernel regression methods for orthologous sequences generated by Hidden Markov models (HMM). I use an alternative approach by analyzing the Nash Equilibrium (NE) of the Evolutionary Stable Strategy, without an explicit solution to complex dynamics. For physics-based approaches, I utilize Gibbs free energy calculations considering attractive contributions to the van der Waals interaction energy. I conduct Molecular Dynamics Simulations and Multimer Predictions for both globular and membranous proteins. For the intensive calculations, I am familiar with various supercomputer infrastructures including Google Compute Engine and Colab.
I am also interested in short movies and photography.
