Getting Published in High-Impact Journals: A Perspective from a Nature Methods Editor
A major goal of most scientific researchers is obtaining exciting results and publishing them in high-visibility, well-regarded journals. As a Senior Editor at Nature Methods with 13 years of experience, I will take you inside the editorial world to describe how we select, review, improve, and disseminate important research to a broad scientific community.

Studies in Gravitational-wave Astronomy & Tests of General Relativity
Modern astronomical data sets provide the opportunity to test our physical theories of the Universe at unprecedented levels of accuracy. This dissertation examines approaches to testing gravitational theories using a) observations of stars orbiting the center of the Milky Way; b) observations of the pulsations of Cepheid variable stars in dwarf galaxies; and c) gravitational-wave observations of compact binary mergers.

Computing Free-Energy Landscapes from Molecular Dynamics Simulations
The most probable pathways of structural transition in biomolecular complexes follow minimum free-energy pathways. Employing an implicit scheme for solving the Langevin dynamics equation, called the string method, these pathways are determined for structural transitions in molecular motors. The underlying multidimensional thermodynamic landscape is probed to determine experimentally measurable quantities such as, binding affinity, turnover rates, and energy conversion efficiencies.

Combining in vitro and in silico Single-molecule Force Spectroscopy to Characterize Protein Mechanics
Steered Molecular Dynamics (SMD) simulations have been used to depict the underlying molecular details of protein mechanics. At the molecular level, these behaviors are governed by mechanically active proteins.
