| Bio: |
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 in 1998.
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 an Alfred P. Sloan Research
Fellow and was awarded the Presidential Early Career Award
in Science and Engineering (PECASE) in 2005. |

Current
Research
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
single molecule spectroscopy experiments.
