Research summary

Brendan Sullivan's work centers on neutron and X-ray crystallography techniques used to determine the atomic-level structure of biological molecules such as proteins, DNA, and ion channels, including how water molecules and hydrogen atoms are arranged within these structures. This research also involves developing computational methods, including neural networks, to improve the accuracy of interpreting diffraction data collected from these crystallography experiments. Prospective students would likely engage with structural biology instrumentation, data analysis software, and physical techniques for probing molecular structure.
