COMPUTATIONAL DESIGN AND ANALYSIS OF RNA NANOSTRUCTURES

Since 2023, I have worked under the direction of Dr. Jaimie Marie Stewart, using computational modeling and molecular dynamics simulations to study multi-stranded RNA nanostructures.

My research involves modeling and simulating RNA nanostars and analyzing their structural behavior to better understand how nanoscale architecture influences the formation and behavior of RNA condensates.

COMplexity science in urban growth models for emission dynamics

In Summer 2025, I worked with Dr. Lay-Kee Ang to apply fractional calculus, extending an existing integer-based urban growth model to study global CO2 emissions.

Using this framework, I examined how memory effects influence emission patterns and compared the fractional- and integer-order models to determine which provided a better fit, revealing how population dynamics shape a country's emissions.
