I am a multidisciplinary scientist at the University of Connecticut (UConn Health in Farmington, Connecticut). See my professional home page, and my photography page.

My first degree was in biochemistry and my Ph.D. in computational biology. I have been a professor of computer science and cell biology. I combine knowledge from all of these fields under the umbrella of systems biology. In science I am known for having developed software for simulation of biochemical networks (Gepasi[1] and COPASI[2]). Areas of science that I have researched include computer simulation methods, metabolism, biological network inference, oxidative stress, iron metabolism, enzyme kinetics, protein synthesis, flavonoid biosynthesis in plants (particularly isoflavonoids), mathematical optimization, biological databases and data standards.

I am also an amateur photographer, a motorsports enthusiast, and a strong supporter of electric vehicles.

My University is not at all involved in what I do on Wikipedia.
