Nanosimulation PhD
| My recently completed PhD in protein self-assembly and biological modelling. I'm in the process of putting it up, a chapter at a time. Source code is also available, however it only currently works on some silicon graphics machines... |

Nanoscale Self-Assembly
| I'm especially interested in the self assembly of proteinacious structures in the cytoskeleton. As part of this work, I have written a generic nanoscale simulator that attempts to model the interactions of objects of size 0.1nm to 100nm interacting on time scales of microseconds to seconds. The program (written in platform independant C++) will be made available on the web soon. |
| These are tunnels used for cell-to-cell transport in plants. There structure is not fully determined, and I've been using computer modelling and simulation techniques to try to extract more from the available data. | |
| I've also done some work on a real-time special relativity simulator. It's very fast, but not as accurate as a ray-tracer. With the advances in computing power in the five years since it was written, it would probably be a suitable engine for a space- flight simulator or computer game on a PC! |
