Currently I spend much of my time studying the biophysical properties of the LOV2 domain from Avena sativa. I enjoy NMR and CD spectroscopy and generally like to tear apart proteins to see how they work. This is mostly done using heat, urea and gdmcl.
In my previous life I did a lot of computer programming and still enjoy hacking hardware and software. Here are some links to some of the code I have written.

IP Sorcery : a packet generator with a GUI interface very easy to mess around with and learn about firewalls and network protocols. It is used mostly for testing firewall rules and network troubleshooting. Interestingly (and I hate adverbs) it is used as a tool to teach "Ethical Hacking" see here .

For performing simulations to test the viscosity of certain whiskeys I created a 40% ethanol/water box. The files were created for use with OPLSAA forcefield for use in gromacs.

Energy minimized Ethanol Box using the SPC model for water
