| Dr. Michael L. Love received his
BA degree in the Molecular Biology program at Purdue University in 1992,
and his Ph.D. in Biochemistry from Brandeis University in May of 2000.
He is a postdoctoral associate with Cornell University at MacCHESS and in
the Department of Molecular Biology and Genetics. At Purdue, Dr. Love
learned various biochemical techniques including SDS-PAGE and native gels,
western blot, silver and coomassie blue staining procedures, ELISA, protein
extraction, and purification including liquid chromatography with the FPLC,
and density/viscosity gradient centrifugation. At Brandeis, Dr. Love
studied muscle regulation from a structural perspective, and made several
contributions to that field. In addition, he became a protein crystallographer
with competence in the following techniques; crystallization, data collection
including extensive synchrotron experience at CHESS and BNL, isomorphous
replacement, molecular replacement, crystallographic refinement, and
structural analysis. At Brandeis University, he played a role in crystallographic
equipment installation, maintenance, training, and support with particular
focus on the following systems; Elliot and Rigaku x-ray generators, R-AXIS
and MAR image plates, various CCD's, and Supper and Yale mirrors. During
his graduate studies he became interested in crystallographic computing and
molecular graphics, and he gained an expertise in the following software
packages; CCP4 installation and support, AmoRe, ARP, CNS_solve, DENZO,
DM, Gimp, Molscript, MOSFLM, O, PhotoShop, POVray, Povscript, Rasmol,
Raster3D, Scala, SCALEPACK, Strategy, XDS, X-PLOR, and XV. In addition, he
is proficient with several computer operating systems and programming languages
including C, CGI, Fortran, HTML, Linux, MacOS, and Unix. Dr. Love
is a Supper Mirror and Physical Chemistry Consultant. As founder of The GNU-Darwin Distribution, he is
attempting to advance supercomputing on the Apple platform for the benefit
of the user community at large. thesis cv cover_letter |
