the online home of Dan Siegal-Gaskins
dantimatter.com is the online home of Dan Siegal-Gaskins. The word "dantimatter" is a portmanteau of Daniel and antimatter. It reflects Dan's nature as both a fan of science and someone who needed a moderately wacky domain name that wasn't already taken.

About Dan
This writing-in-the-third-person thing is starting to feel strange, so I'm going to switch to first person.
Research
Since October 2011 I've been a Postdoctoral Scholar in Bioengineering at Caltech, working in the lab of Richard Murray. Prior to that I was a Postdoctoral Fellow of the Mathematical Biosciences Institute at the Ohio State University. My general research interests lie in the interdisciplinary field of systems biology; in using tools from the physical sciences to gain new insights into how biological systems function.

Science education and outreach
I'm a big supporter of good science education and of increasing public awareness of science. As part of a larger effort to "think globally and act locally" about scientific literacy, I started the Columbus Science Pub back in September, 2010. If you're living in central Ohio and looking for a good and nerdy time, I highly recommend the Pub.
Personal
I share a home in Pasadena, CA with a human named Jenny and three superhumans named Coltrane, Porcini, and Teddy.
