Brown, Frank L - University of California, Santa Barbara - Biomolecular Science and Engineering

个人简介

Dr. Brown received his B.S. in Chemistry and B.A. in Applied Mathematics from UC Berkeley and his Ph.D. in Physical Chemistry from MIT. He was a NSF Postdoctoral Fellow at UC San Diego and a Yen Fellow at the University of Chicago before joining the UCSB faculty in 2001. Dr. Brown is the recipient of an Alfred P. Sloan Research Fellowship, a Camille Dreyfus Teacher-Scholar award and the Presidential Early Career Award in Science and Engineering.

研究领域

Research in my group is entirely theoretical/computational in nature. Our interests lie at the interface between physical chemistry and biophysics and we use a variety of tools spanning the traditional fields of statistical mechanics, hydrodynamics, elasticity theory and quantum mechanics in our research efforts. Recent work has focused on the dynamics and structure of biomembranes and the interpretation of various spectroscopy experiments (single molecule fluorescence, neutron spin echo, flicker spectroscopy, etc.).
