"Story telling is essentially a data integration process."


Research


My lab primarily develops computational methods to understand cells' molecular and mesoscale architecture. We work in computational biology, focusing on computational structural biology, computational analysis of cryo-electron tomograms and Soft X-ray tomograms, ArtScience, Applied Machine, and Deep Learning.


We are also involved with the World Building Media Lab at Cinema School at USC to create a World in a Cell Virtual Reality experience of the inner workings of the pancreatic beta-cell. This project brings together artists, engineers, scientists, and doctors to create immersive experiences of the cellular world to understand it better.
