Dr. Singh's Computational Biology, and Computer Simulation Education/Research Activities Very recently, we have started research work on computational biology, computer science education, computer simulations, computational physics and physics education. Generally, we employ the latest version of Microsoft software like Excel 2007/2003 and C++ and Java languages for our research work on computer simulations in multi-field research activities. In our research/education projects, we do extensive Monte Carlo simulations using high performance computers. In education research project, we create random numbers with the help of pseudo-random number generators using PC's or Mainframes. Right now, we are trying to model Mendel's Laws on hybrids in evolution process. We start with a certain number of dominant and recessive genes and then perform the computer simulations to create conditions those are available from a particular set of experimental data on species like plants or animals. In genetics project, we are collaborating with Dr. Satpal Singh, Associate Professor, Department of Pharmacology and Toxicology, University of Buffalo, State University of New York, Buffalo NY, 14214. In computational physics and physics education research work, our main emphasis to investigate the projectile motion under several different boundary conditions. We are actively involved in the simulations of projectile trajectories in frictionless media. Work on the dynamics of particle motion on an incline plane is in progress. Two chemistry junior undergraduate students would be joining my computational biology research group in the coming spring semester of 2009. Any other student who is interested to work on these interesting and fascinating research problems may email me on my email address given below. |
