Current Research
Activities
We
identify molecular interactions and trace their
communication pathways on different time and length scales. We ferret
out the relationships
between local motifs and global patterns in complex networks with
arbitrary
degree distributions. These activities find technological applications
in devising
molecular machines and system identification tools.
