The goal of my research project was to evaluate a particular strain of bacteria for sulfur removal from a sample of heavy crude oil . This led me to spend a fair proportion of my research time since on the interface between security and the social sciences . Most of my research work has been in quantum many-body techniques and nanophysics . The goal of my research program is to delineate the molecular mechanisms that regulate homeostasis of the endoplasmic reticulum ( ER ) in mammalian cells . This rigorous quantitative probing of behavior integrates seamlessly with the second strand of my research program - - the development , testing , and analysis of various learning models . The focus of my research program is to determine how and when positive emotions are beneficial to good health and to understand how these effects interact with positive and negative psychosocial factors ( e.g ., loneliness , social support , stress , negative affect ) . Part of my research project and approach over the years involves trying to understand the " intended " and " unintended " consequences of communication changes . A prominent goal of my research program is to understand how the prefrontal cortex acts to guide and control memory processes . Details of my research work , both past and present , can be found on my research page . In this forum , I was evaluated on the soundness and validity of my facts and the practicality of my research question .
