People & Supervision

People & Supervision

I supervise and mentor researchers at doctoral and Master level. The people below are grouped by their current relationship to my work.

The work spans computational RNA biology, with a focus on RNA structure prediction, RNA design, structured viral RNAs, RNA–protein interactions, and folding kinetics. Those involved come from backgrounds including bioinformatics, chemistry, molecular biology, physics, and data analysis.

Supervision inquiries

I regularly supervise students on topics in RNA structure prediction, folding kinetics, functional RNA design, viral RNA biology, and RNA–protein recognition, the areas described on the research page. Good fits usually bring an interest in RNA structure and function, comfort with quantitative or computational work, and a willingness to work across disciplinary boundaries.

If you are interested, briefly describe your background, current stage, and the directions most relevant to you. A thesis topic in computational RNA biology, virology, or RNA design is a typical starting point. Please get in touch.
