I am a research associate professor in Physics Department at
Boston University. I
completed my Ph.D. studies on the Landau theory of
ferroelectric liquid crystals at the J. Stefan
Institute and University in Ljubljana, Slovenia. My research
interests are (a) development and application of
statistical physics methods to neurobiological
systems, to quantify anatomical changes due to Alzheimer's
disease and normal aging; and (b) application of
discrete molecular dynamics simulations to study folding and
aggregation of proteins associated with disorders, such
as Alzheimer's amyloid beta protein.
